Flight Simulator specifications and requirements

Xbox and Asobo Studio launched Microsoft Flight Simulator earlier today, on PC.

Players can purchase this prestigious civil aviation simulation game from both the Steam store and the Windows 10 Store, for $ 60. Or, you can subscribe to Xbox Game Pass on your PC for a small subscription - the game is available in the library's games from day one.

Although a Game Pass subscription is the cheapest way to win the game, that hasn't stopped Microsoft Flight Simulator from achieving massive success on the Steam store.

At the moment of this writing, this simulation game is ranked among the most played, while there are 61,775 players online at the same time now.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is massively popular on Steam

Perhaps the most prominent factor in Flight Simulator is its optimization of Azure cloud services and its integration with the well-known Bing map data. This system enables the game to transmit the entire globe and its data through the broadcast service, with a data capacity of up to 2 petabytes. just awesome!

Of course, this system is not hugely perfect, there are some flaws, but the Asobo Studio team makes strenuous efforts to solve problems and adjust and stabilize the system, at the same time that it will continue to support the game, whether by airplanes or known international airports.

Moreover, the game received massive global acclaim, enabling it to rank third again, in the top rated games ranking of 2020 so far on Metacritic — and of course it has become one of the highest rated Xbox Exclusives ever.

It is noteworthy that the American technology giant had previously indicated that the Microsoft Flight Simulator game will be available on 10 discs, and you will need 150 GB of your hard drive for the digital copy, while it will contain the most famous airports in the world, including Cairo International Airport representing Egypt, and Dubai International Airport, for the UAE United Arab. Unfortunately, there is no talk of any Saudi airport in the game yet.
