Pre-orders are already live, with three editions to choose from. Each one includes access to a set number of planes and airports. The standard ($60) comes with 20 planes and 30 airports – this is the version included with Xbox Game Pass. Then you have the Deluxe Edition ($90), which expands the available content to 25 planes and 35 airports.
Finally, there’s the Premium Deluxe Edition ($120), which has the highest number of airplanes (30) and airports (40). Microsoft listed every plane and airport that’s going to be available in each edition, which you can see broken down in the gallery below. Beyond that, all players can expect regular content updates post launch.
This is, of course, the first major Flight Simulator release since the 2014 launch of Flight Simulator X on Steam. We’ve played it and it’s good. The new game will not be released on Steam, at least alongside other platforms come August 18. If you’re looking to play it a little bit early, Microsoft is running a closed beta that kicks off at the end of the month.
