Flight Simulator is Microsoft's take on its long-running airborne sim series - and it's coming to Xbox consoles. This page explains everything we know about the Xbox release of Flight Simulator so far - including what will be shared between the two versions. The console version will offer "the same level of depth as the PC version", according to the official announcement, and have the same World Updates and themed DLC as the PC edition, as well as support for "additional peripherals" from third-party partners.
Base framerate will be 30 FPS. Only the Xbox Series X and S versions were confirmed, despite a now deleted post on the official support website earlier in the year stating it was "coming to Xbox One at a later date", and that lead software engineer Martial Bossard originally explaining to Windows Central how development on the Xbox One version would benefit PC development.
There is nothing PC will lose from the Xbox. It's basically the opposite. We're doing the work to have a better experience on the Xbox family, then we will improve the PC version at the same time. For those investigating their Flight Simulator options, we have a planes list and airport list for each launch edition, a list of Flight Simulator Achievements.
Then, when you start playing, we have explainers on weather and liveries , multiplayer , using autopilot and sim rate , and how to use the game's equivalent of photo mode with Active Pause.
Though there have been few specifics of what the Xbox version of Flight Simulator will feature, Microsoft has confirmed it will be an Xbox Play Anywhere title, the "initiative by Microsoft to combine platforms of gaming, letting Xbox gamers play on PC with any first-party Microsoft Studios published game that is digitally purchased and vice versa".
Meanwhile, the Xbox One and PC versions will also share Achievement lists - there won't be separate listings. All this suggests the two versions are one and the same, and are likely to share progress between the two - but of course, without an announcement saying as such, there is no confirmation as yet. Until then, the PC version supports the use of an Xbox controller - allowing you to get a taste of the console experience for those who prefer to play with that control scheme.
