If you’re looking for an extra excuse to take to the skies in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 when it launches on Xbox and Game Pass this November, read on…
During a chat with PC Gamer, Microsoft Flight Simulator lead Jorge Neumann revealed how players will be able to exit their plane and walk around. It looks like you’ll even be able to walk along your favorite mountain trails:
“You can now get off the plane in 2024 and walk around. You can literally walk your favorite mountain trail to your favorite cabin in the mountains. Sit by the lake. Watch the sunset. It’s truly a digital twin that you can record.”
Although this new entry will seemingly contain more details than ever before, the game will fortunately ship with a “thin” client architecture, so the file size this time around shouldn’t be as large as the previous version, as the team is “outsourcing more to the cloud”:
“It starts shipping in November, but we think we’ll get to… I’d say 50GB or less, but with tons more data because we’re moving more to the cloud.”
