The end result is one of the most visually stunning and technically impressive video games of all time, and a title that, especially after numerous post-launch updates, caters to both flight sim veterans and casual players. To accomplish this, Asobo Studio and Xbox Game Studios combined the very best of modern gaming hardware with Microsoft's class-leading cloud technology and over 2 petabytes of world digital information.
This time around the helm was controlled by Asobo Studio, and the ambition for the project was higher than ever: a top-class simulation experience that encompasses the entire world. Microsoft Flight Simulator is the 2020 revival of the classic flight sim franchise from Microsoft.
Now that Microsoft Flight Simulator is on Xbox, there are more people than ever with eyes on the game, asking what the best mods and add-ons are. Outside of the Marketplace, there are innumerable sources for additional MSFS content. The MSFS Marketplace provides a hassle-free channel to access new content from both Asobo Studio and third-party developers, but it can be hard to know where to start or what content is worth your attention (and much of the content is premium). Microsoft Flight Simulator already features a wide selection of mods and add-ons, and more are added all the time, both in the official Marketplace and from a variety of other sources, further cementing MSFS as one of the best PC games around. The title provides a platform for future updates to come, and is also supported by a growing community of third-party developers and their content. Microsoft Flight Simulator delivers a complete digital recreation of planet Earth, but it's only the start of a multi-year journey.
