The first footage of Microsoft Flight Simulator on consoles is here

It was announced as coming, but now we finally have our first look at Microsoft Flight Simulator, running on the Xbox Series X and it looks just as amazing on console as it does on PC.

The game on console will still offer the same massive planet to fly around, as you’ll travel the entire planet in amazing detail with over 37 thousand airports, 2 million cities, 1.5 billion buildings, real mountains, roads, trees, rivers, animals, traffic, and more.

The coolest piece of news though is that the team at Xbox Game Studios is working with several third-party accessory makers, to create new control options for the console, giving you a way to play the game, as close to realistic as you can.

All the World Updates, themed DLC and other fixes that have been released for PC and still to come to PC, will also be included in the game, so when it comes to consoles this coming Winter, both versions should be identical.
