Microsoft Flight Simulator Will Take Up Around 100 GB on Xbox Series X and S
We found out the approximate size of Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox Series X and S. Get your drives ready, because you will need around 100 GB of free space.
Almost a year after its debut on PC, Microsoft Flight Simulator is coming to consoles - specifically, the Xbox Series X and S. There are still eight days left until its release, also in Xbox Game , but impatient fans of virtual flying are already checking to see if the title can be pre-ed (at the moment, no). One such person - Twitter known as Idle Sloth - noticed that when selecting the "Manage with Game " option, the game's approximate "weight" is displayed: 97.2 GB.
That's quite a lot, although no less than the PC version, which, although slimmed down some time ago from 170 to 83 GB of data, still "weighs" over 100 GB without any add-ons. What's more, description of the product in Microsoft Store suggests that you may need even more free space on the disk - up to 150 GB. As a result, the final size of the game will probably depend on which console you want to it to: Xbox Series X or S. The differences are expected to be seen primarily in display resolution - the more powerful configuration will offer an image in 4K, while the weaker in 1080p.
Along with the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator on 9th-gen hardware also PC s will receive a significant update, along with which the version of the game will change - from Sim Update 4 to Sim Update 5. Within its framework the devs will improve, among other things, performance and tree draw distance. It is also worth ing that the title will receive cross-play and cross-save features, which means that it can be played interchangeably on the PC and on console.
The launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator on XSX|S will take place on July 27. In the meantime, we remind you about the expansion announced for November - Top Gun: Maverick.
