After a myriad of launch issues, developer Asobo Studio releases a new patch update for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 with a handful of fixes.

“We knew the excitement was high for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, but frankly, we completely underestimated how high, and it has really overwhelmed our infrastructure,” series head Jorg Neumann said. “We’re really sorry, we want to apologize.”

Flight Simulator 2024 has crashed and burned at launch--the sim is plagued by issues like login waiting lines, choppy frame rates, and hours of updates.

At its launch on November 19, 2024, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is also available to users with an active Xbox Game Pass subscription, commonly listed for a far lower monthly price than its $69.99 MSRP and the best way to try a game if you're unsure of its appeal.
