Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: Smaller Size, Bigger Features
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is set to launch on November 19th for Xbox and PC, bringing significant improvements including a drastically reduced installation size and new features.
- Installation size reduced to about 30GB from over 130GB
- Uses cloud streaming technology for on-demand high-resolution graphics
- Introduces career system simulating real aviation careers
- New aircraft include Boeing 747-400 LCF Dreamlifter and hot air balloons
- Priced from $69.99 to $199.99, also available on Xbox Game Pass
The smaller install size is achieved through cloud streaming technology, allowing for higher-detail areas to be streamed based on the player's flight path. This optimization doesn't compromise graphics quality but frees up valuable storage space.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 offers a more accessible and feature-rich experience, balancing realism with reduced storage demands.
