Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 might have more content than its predecessor, but it's marred by too many bugs for it to be worth your while.

At its best moments, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is pure magic. There’s a lot of love in this game, but there’s also a few problems. These problems (trouble rendering textures and the like) tarnish an otherwise good overall impression.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 fulfills the promise of being the most true-to-life and detailed game of its kind.

There’s not really a competitor, except Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, so what else are you going to do? It’s a gorgeous game and when it all comes together and you’re soaring over the Grand Canyon or crashing into the street in front of your house or doing low-level stunts in an F-18, it hits like nothing else.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is the latest in the decades-long series of flight sims, with more aircraft types, detail and new activities.

Microsoft Flight Simulator was one of the best games of 2020. We praised the technology behind the product and the level of ambition, and in this long-awaited sequel, everything is turned up to eleven and usually a big improvement. There's no mistaking the level of potential and that it's one of the best-looking titles of the year when everything works as it should.
