After a myriad of launch issues, developer Asobo Studio releases a new patch update for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 with a handful of fixes.

“We knew the excitement was high for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, but frankly, we completely underestimated how high, and it has really overwhelmed our infrastructure,” series head Jorg Neumann said. “We’re really sorry, we want to apologize.”

At its launch on November 19, 2024, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is also available to users with an active Xbox Game Pass subscription, commonly listed for a far lower monthly price than its $69.99 MSRP and the best way to try a game if you're unsure of its appeal.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is off to a rough start, with the firm acknowledging technical challenges and issuing a software fix.

While Xbox owners won’t need to worry about hardware requirements, the same can’t be said for PC players. After all, MFS 2024 is a visually stunning game, and those breathtaking graphics come at a very high cost. Thankfully, developer Asobo Studio has revealed detailed system requirements for the game, which are listed below.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has, ironically, not got off to a flying start, as its initial Steam rating places it as one of the worst-rated games on the storefront after it temporarily fell even lower than Overwatch 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is experiencing major problems on Xbox Series X|S and PC just hours after the game's worldwide launch.

After 'Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024' suffered from performance issues due to the severs being inundated with a high volume of players, developer Asobo has apologised to the community and vowed to fix the title.
