Great informative review mate, I'm a commercial pilot in Australia and have been looking at buying the latest sim to keep up to date with finer flying skills while I'm not flying, but I also didn't want to pay the money for a PC gaming set up, this video has guided me towards the cheaper xbox x option. I look forward to checking it out.

[DJTechno]

I haven't got a beefy gaming set-up. I bought series S only to play MSFS, and it's absolutely breathtaking. Yes to me it's worth every penny.

[londony]

One day this sim will be perfect… one day

[adayinthelifeofadrian]

This is the game that introduced me to the XBOX Series X and because of this I have now discovered Call of Duty and Battlefield. Both of these games are simply amazing.

[sofajockeyUK]

Graphic tweaking is typically not a thing on Xbox. Though I'm finding it gorgeous on Series X.

[foymanatee]

I am also that kind of person who bought an Xbox Series X on purpose and mainly to get access to a full Sim experience with no need to buy a much too expensive PC. Without these drivers problems, viruses, configuration issues etc. I am more than happy that Turtlebeach, Thrustmaster and even Honeycomb invest in third party devices and controllers such as Yokes and Rudders. Hope Microsoft and Asobo will not separate development between PC and console. Even if we may have to change to a superior version of high end specification console from time to time. It worth it so much.

I’m so glad they brought the sim to the Xbox, just my personal opinion but I can’t justify paying the money out for one game/sim. Bought the premium version and so glad I did worth every penny just wish they’d add more passenger jetliners and liveries to the market place. Whatever version you get its so worth the money in my opinion

[swavezmartin]

This game is absolutely amazing im blown away omg im loving this on the series x 😀

[mariesvandefliert]

Absolutely loving it. The reason i bought the series x as my secondary console next to my ps5. I'm glad i did. Totally worth it

[Posttraumaticgrowth]

It is a masterpiece and will be the benchmark for a lot of future game releases.

[marlojenkins]

Awesome video mate, I’ve been considering buying the series s for this sim, I’ve always wanted to play but just don’t have the money for a high level pc.

[PeteSnipe]

I fly on Series X and rejected the PC route due to cost. Being unable to install non marketplace content is quite a pain. I had hopes for Dev mode on the Xbox, but again that isn't happening. The need for a 'gamepass' for live traffic is lamentable. Lack of multi-monitor support is also a shame. As a UK PPL, I mostly fly VFR circuits and cross country VFR. Would I recommend? - Yes but some basics bug me ~ hectopascals for altimeters rather than inches(hybrid does not work for me), American voices on radio in Europe, and the lack of a 'Meigs field' to fly from... Still looking for a BAe Hawk (100 Sqn) and Panavia Tornado for the Xbox version.

Glitches are there. My favourite being shutting the xbox down in mid flight, going on holiday and coming back to find I have 240 more flight hours than when I left.

Finally, installs are invasive and block use of the sim, I come back to MSFS and find what appears to be the same / similar installs being reapplied.


I am not an Xbox gamer and never will be. Perfect? No but it is fun and is reasonable value.

[andrewb]

I say Yes definitely. I've come from my struggle station 4. To xbox series S and I love it. Get game pass and play this game. It's an experience. I highly recommend.

[Jammineyeonline]

You truly haven't played this game until you play it in VR.

IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

[noexcuse]

Game is perfect on the series s for me! I am blown away.

[ScubaDoobie]

Another great video keep up the good work.

[reddeadredeemersandoperati]

They should bring this to PS4 - ps5 I would defo buy it if it was released

[almandilshad]

Yk how this sim has like real time for flying i wish there were modes like realistic mode and non

[huxley]

Definitely worth it for Xbox, I have both pc and Xbox versions very similar

[stephenmason]

When we see the industry adopt controllers in their cockpits I'll consider it. Until then, it's yoke and pedals for me..
