Xbox Game Pass has had some major launches over the years, but very few of those have been exclusive to PC. At this point, Microsoft Flight Simulator seems to be the biggest success story for Game Pass on PC so far, with the launch drawing in over one million players.

Microsoft Flight Simulator launched on August 18th across Steam, the Microsoft Store and of course, Xbox Game Pass for PC. The Game Pass version alone has garnered over one million players so far, all of which have collectively embarked on over 26 million flights.

The longest flight to date has clocked in at 10.39 hours, travelling over 7,623 kilometres. In total, pilots on Game Pass have flown over 1.1 billion miles across Microsoft’s recreation of Earth. If you wanted to know the most popular airport so far, that would be John F. Kennedy International in New York.

Now the key for Microsoft will be keeping those players engaged and subscribed to Game Pass, something that could be achieved with new updates and DLCs.

KitGuru Says: How many of you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass on PC? Have you tried Microsoft Flight Simulator since it first launched last month?

Microsoft does not always get it right, but Microsoft Flight Simulator is the one product where developers have received almost unanimous praise from gamers and critics alike. A much improved follow-up to Flight Simulator 2004, Simulator X has better graphics, better presentation, and a higher level of replayability. In fact, Microsoft Flight Simulator comes close to the real experience of flying, but you should be aware that the download size is a bit big at 636.2 MB. It takes around five minutes to install, and then you will have three choices. You can do an introductory test flight, drop flour on targets or do a Caribbean Landing. Dropping flour improve target practice while the other two options hone your experience with the controls and help you to master the landing.

What gamers love about Flight Simulator is how you have a variety of planes to choose from. You can choose anything from a commercial jetliner to ultra-lights, Cessnas, and helicopters. Where Simulator X sets a new standard is through the 50 unique missions that keep you from sleeping at the controls. Your missions are given from Air Traffic Control, and the objectives vary from fun and interesting to serious and compelling. Because of runway enclosure, you may have to move the plane over the top of a bus or because of an explosion, you could be asked to rescue the workers of a burning oil ring. Some of the other potential missions include picking up film stars, search and rescue missions, and Area 51 missions.

With the full version, you have over 24,000 different airports to choose from, and chances are, you will even be able to fly out of the local airport. The game brings a stunning level of realism; walkways, luggage belts, and fuel trucks can all be extended from the aircraft. Getting too close to the ground, you will see local wildlife running around, and it proves that Microsoft has gone the extra mile making a game of both depth and quality. The game has accurately mapped the positions of the stars and the time of the year, which shows how much thought Microsoft put into this game. You can even fly according to the weather patterns. You can also set the weather to practice flying in storms and blizzards.

For people looking for an added level of realism, Microsoft Flight Simulator includes a pre-flight briefing that lets you discuss the weather predictions, flight conditions, and the factors that will have an impact on the flying experience. If you want to practice for worst case scenarios, you can pre-program your plane to malfunction while flying. You will watch as your co-pilot reacts to an undercarriage that has been jammed and dropped off over Denver.
