Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox Series X|S is a remarkable achievement, and one which brings the flight simulator experience into your living room with emphatic effect. There's no sense that this is a cut-back console port, but one that widens the genre's influence into places it's never conquered before.
With everyone looking to the upcoming consoles to provide the next-generation experience, don’t let this one slip off your radar.
Microsoft Flight Simulator lands on Xbox with a great porting that, despite a few flaws and a painful UI, recreates the same, magical simulation experience that PC users has enjoyed in the past year, thanks to a great (but not perfect) controller adaptation of the main mechanics and the same additional contents provided in the last few months on PC by Asobo Studio.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is an absolute must for flight sim fans, but anyone with the even the slightest bit of an explorer's nature will be sure to enjoy as well.
Flight Simulator on Xbox Series X is a stunning piece of technology that gives you freedom unlike anything has before. With beautiful visuals and a fully realised world to explore, it's hard not to be blown away.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is the best way to see the world from your couch.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is well worth checking out. Hardcore simmers will love it, and for more casual players it is still undeniably fun. While the full $60 price tag ($120 for the Premium Deluxe edition) might be a bit much for gamers who typically play more traditional titles, Flight Sim will also be offered on Xbox Game Pass, which makes it a very strong value proposition. As much as we longed for more content, something kept us coming back, again and again, to try out another plane, fly over another landmark, or attempt one more tricky landing.
Free from graphics cards, drivers, and other PC trappings, Microsoft Flight Simulator is the most accessible flight simulator ever made. With the most minor of concessions, it also manages to be the best looking game the Xbox Series X has on offer to date. With the right control surface, you too can slip the surly bonds of Earth, and when it looks this good and plays this well, I highly recommend it.
One of the most demanding PC games makes a slick transition to Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. The full Microsoft Flight Simulator experience comes to the living room, serving as a true graphical showcase for its consoles.
Asobo Studio has created something special with Microsoft Flight Simulator
Microsoft Flight Simulator is by all means the most complete out-of-the-box package that out of any flight sim ever. It's advancements have pushed the genre as a whole to an entirely new standard with the promise of ongoing support solidifying its rank as the defacto flight sim for the years to come. While it has its quirks, this really is "As real as it gets".
What we left with is the fact that Microsoft Flight Simulator is a truly unique game. It manages to be both things at once - a deep instrument for the aviation maniacs, and a great chance to explore most far away regions of our planet.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is a triumphantly ambitious venture which pushes the boundaries of photorealism in the gaming medium. It requires a lot of horsepower and the support of Azure technology to accomplish such a feat, but these barriers are washed away when you're staring down at endless cities and thick jungles from thousands of feet in the air. It's breathtaking, and I hope it brings such simulators further into the mainstream.
If you are an experienced pilot and already have X-Plane with premium paid content, you won't upgrade to Microsoft Flight Simulator. Well, not right away. Because if we can find problems with Asobo's baby, none of them is insoluble and will undoubtedly see improvements to strive even more towards perfection. As it stands, Flight Simulator is already a benchmark platform that will undoubtedly establish itself as the civil flight simulation of the decade. Checkmate.

An absolutely amazing return to form for the series
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 not only offered me a breathtakingly immersive experience, but it also helped with my fear of flying.
Despite its flaws and performance problems, Microsoft Flight Simulator rises as the most ambitious and advance flying simulator for the general public. A dream come true for all the Av Geeks out there.

A visionary, landmark release that's built with the long haul in mind. It will take a while for PC hardware to catch up with the game's potential, but despite some early technical turbulence the experience remains dazzling.
The product basically flies on two distinct routes: the first leads to an extreme simulation and suitable for enthusiasts, while the second in the direction of a too simplified experience, without a middle ground. Notwithstanding, in any case, that the primary target of production remains that composed of die-hard fans of simulations, and in this respect there is really little to say: the work done by Asobo and Microsoft on the technical and simulation front is in fact simply colossal and cannot but be rewarded.
