In addition to unexpected delays, We’re just over three months away from the launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024a title we’ve been waiting for since its announcement, at Xbox Showcase 2023, last June. Since the reboot of the franchise with the 2020 version, the historical saga, the development of which Asobo is responsible for, has managed to win over audiences and critics, attracting not only fans of the flight simulation genre, but also an increasing number of people. curious to control any type of aircraft.

Since its launch, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, Microsoft and Asobo They maintain a policy of constant, high quality and completely free updateswhich from the beginning encouraged us to think that sooner or later there would have to be a new version, because somehow they need to continue to monetize the franchise and of course continue to fund the activities of the studio in order to maintain its admirable policy of updates.

Some time ago, when I was talking to a person who was quite “pro” flight simulations, the topic of external views, the ways we can see the aircraft from the outside, came up in the conversation, and he told me that it wasn’t a simulation, it was a landscaping. However, a bit later and with the 2020 version already released, he admitted to me that he had changed his mind and that he really enjoyed them now, and that’s because The work of its developers in this sense is simply magnificent..

I think the same thing, which is why the news we found on PCGamer today made me so happy, and that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will allow us to “get out” of the plane and explore the world from the air in search of the best view.. Specifically, this comes from an interview with Jorge Neumann, the head of franchising at Microsoft, who gives the example of being able to “get off” the plane and enjoy the sunset, but the truth is that the possibilities are practically endless.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is not usually included in the lists of titles of this type, but it will undoubtedly, like the 2020 edition and all the previous ones, be an open-world game in which the exploration of the map is one of the stimuli for the experience. With this new feature (which I’m personally looking forward to trying out), her options in this sense increase substantially, which may end up attract even more players who are not fans of the genrebut you will enjoy such privileged views.
