This is a milestone for the flight simulation game. As the franchise celebrated its 40th anniversary on November 11, Microsoft has just announced that Microsoft Flight Simulator managed to convince more than 10 million players.
It must be said that the title has given itself the means for this great success. Available on PC, Xbox, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, the simulation game has a total of 27 content updates in 27 months of existence. And we can say that Asobo Studio has not skimped on the diversity of destinations and especially the great beauty of the landscapes that pilots can fly over. Not to mention the huge fleet of planes available ranging from small propeller planes to large carriers, to which helicopters and gliders have been added.
And for this milestone of 10 million, Microsoft Flight Simulator would like to share some figures concerning its community. Thus, we learn that nearly 500 million flights have already been made, and that nearly 64 billion kilometers have been traveled in game, or about 10 million round the world. That’s hours of flying. Of course, the title does not intend to stop there. Further updates and projects are already planned for 2023.
