Developers from Asobo Studio have released a major (seventeenth) update of the popular flight simulator Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020).

Here's What We Know

The patch weighs 20 GB and, like the game itself, is available on Xbox Series and PC.

Developers significantly improved the game world on the territory of Britain and Ireland. On the Foggy Albion there are new challenges, research flights and much more. In particular, gamers from the air will be able to view 16 major cities, including London and Dublin, activate 79 points of interest and land a plane in five new airports.

Thanks to the new satellite images, the developers have improved the visual representation of settlements in Britain and Ireland, added new objects and in general slightly improved the graphics of Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020).

Recall, the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will take place in November 2024 and the content of this update will be available in the new game, but in a more optimised and modern version.
