Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 officially launched today, but it's basically been a complete bust trying to play or even get into the game so far. Loading queues and interminable loading screens are all we've seen so far.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is now available across Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Now developer Asobo Studio seems on track to do it all again with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which releases today for PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. With virtual pilots all around the world gearing up for their first flights, we’ll soon find out whether the studio was successful.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 uses animals from Planet Zoo to add extra depth to the game's on-the-ground experience.
