Almost exactly one year ago, the team at Asobo Studios announced Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 – a follow-up to 2020’s much-loved  title, bringing with it game engine improvements, over a dozen new jobs and more. During Microsoft’s most recent game showcase, we got another look at the upcoming simulator – alongside a release date.

Set to arrive on the 19th of November for Xbox Series X|S and PC, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 “features the largest, most diverse and detailed fleet of aircraft, the most complete representation of airports and air traffic, and the most visually stunning rendition of Earth ever created.”

As mentioned, the game is set to add a boatload of new jobs, objectives and role-playing opportunities, including “aerial firefighting, search and rescue, commercial flights, remote cargo ops, VIP charter service, air racing, and more.”

Being a first-party title, MSFS 2024 will of course be available day-one on Xbox Game Pass. It’ll be interesting to see whether this iteration receives just as much post-launch support as the last.
