Hoping your corner of the world might get the World Update treatment soon? It might just happen! During Xbox Game Showcase: Extended, Microsoft Flight Simulator boss Jorg Neumann revealed that, following the already-released Japan, USA, UK & Ireland, France & Benlux, and Nordics, we’ll be getting two more world updates this year, and six more next year. Also, that recently-announced Top Gun crossover? Seems like it may be just the beginning of something…
You should expect the unexpected. Just like with Maverick […], there will be more of that. All I can say is it will get the gamer and the simmers, both their hearts pounding. So keep watching the skies.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is available now on PC and launches on the Xbox Series X/S on July 27th. The Nordics World Update is available to download now.
