What is the price of all this? As mentioned, the graphic compromises can be considered more than acceptable: we have relatively low quality shadows, and a lower density of buildings than the possibilities offered by the PC version. If you happen to fly over Manhattan, for example, it will only take you a few moments to understand how valuable the results obtained by the developers are: Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox is wonderful. Yet, on the Xbox Series X a sort of miracle has been accomplished with very few compromises: the game runs in 4K at an inconsistent but always more than good frame rate, even in particularly dense areas. As we said, Microsoft Flight Simulator is a huge title, which requires very powerful hardware to be played at an acceptable quality, and almost never without being able to reach the coveted 60 fps.
So let's get to the real heart of the question: what is the quality of the Xbox Series X|S version? We already know the ability of the Xbox ecosystem to successfully reproduce titles originally developed for PC, but we confess that we were literally speechless at the work done by Asobo for this particular port.
In short: the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator is becoming more and more alive and vibrant. Finally, even if we are far from the introduction of a career mode, this new update introduces the so-called "discovery flights", which lead us to spend a few hours flying over the most iconic places on the planet. This is obviously a feature designed to push the player to explore the world, and we confess that we really enjoyed flying from point to point only to find out what was beyond the horizon. In addition, a number of points of interest have been added that show a pin above a particular building, monument or landmark. Of course, we are still facing a very demanding title in terms of hardware resources, but it is incredible to see how - almost a year after its release and with so much new content - the team at Asobo has managed to improve the performance of this simulator.Īmong the most important innovations is new world map, which is based on Bing and is particularly detailed: finding the starting point of your adventures in the skies has never been easier. This update, in fact, represents a huge step forward in the performance of Microsoft Flight Simulator: the frame rate has increased almost everywhere, and the loading times in many cases have been significantly reduced. The latest update, however, is truly massive and comes in conjunction with the release of the Xbox Series X|S version of the game.
