It’s also quite fascinating to see that the highest-rated Microsoft game in years has actually been developed by a third-party studio, while the big-budget Halo: Infinite, which has now been delayed to 2021, has been heavily criticized for its dated graphics. The first trailer Microsoft showed at E3 2019 is the #11 most-viewed trailer on the Xbox YouTube channel with 6M views, far ahead of the Halo Infinite E3 2019 trailer with just 3.4M views. In retrospect, it’s a bit hard to understand why Microsoft didn’t promote Flight Simulator more ahead of its release, as if the company didn’t realize it had a hit on its hands. Flight Simulator is definitely one of the most beautiful games you can play on PC this year, and it actually doesn’t require the latest and greatest specs.

Developer Asobo Studios has been able to recreate the entire planet using data from Bing Maps and Microsoft’s Azure, and the result is simply breathtaking, as Keanu Reeves would say. There’s something really special about this new Flight Simulator, especially at a time when a global pandemic is preventing many of us from traveling.

Fast forward to this week, and this new Flight Simulator game is now available for PC gamers, and it’s the highest-rated Microsoft game in years. 13 years after the release of Flight Simulator X, the company announced it would bring its oldest game franchise back to life with a new game with never-seen-before photorealistic graphics.
