Microsoft Flight Simulator had done a great return in 2020. As per the records, the game from Microsoft has officially crossed 2 million players. That’s quite a huge achievement, whether you have an interest in planes or not.
The game had crossed over 1 million sales at the beginning of the year. Now, it also has an average of 91 on Metacritic with 3,500,000,000+ miles flown in the sky, 50,000,000 total flights take, and 19 round of trip flights from the Earth to the Sun. It shows how much people love to fly.
Wccftech gave the Microsoft Flight Simulator a perfect 10 in their review stating “technical marvel” with “an amazing level of detail.”
“Microsoft Flight Simulator is a marvelous use of technology to create one of the most wonderful and spectacular looking games I’ve ever played. Never a proponent of realism, it simply works here thanks to thousands of handcrafted buildings, as well as certain exceptionally detailed cities, planes and airports, giving you something that is a sheer joy to explore. This attention to detail expands to the controls of the planes, though Asobo ensured it’s accessible through easy to use Xbox controller functions. Once you’re past the learning curve and the full functions of the planes are at your disposal, there’s little that can be said other than this as close to perfect as could be hoped. There are some very slight issues, such as long loading times – expected due to what is being loaded – but every square inch of the Earth is accessible and it’s always worth the wait, particularly thanks to the number of options at your disposal. There’s no doubt in my mind that this will be a platform that will last long into the future.”
For now, the game is available on PC and in the summer of the next year the Xbox Series X|S version is going to be released. It was assured that, on December 23, the game will receive VR support.
