In our Microsoft Flight Simulator review for Xbox Series X|S, Stefan wrote: “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.”

It’s really going from strength, especially with PMDG, Fenix and Maddog recently releasing study-level planes. Cant wait to for the Top Gun DLC in a few weeks, plus to see what they show at E3!
