At its launch on November 19, 2024, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is also available to users with an active Xbox Game Pass subscription, commonly listed for a far lower monthly price than its $69.99 MSRP and the best way to try a game if you're unsure of its appeal.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is now available across Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
