Microsoft Flight Simulator

Asobo Studio's next-generation flight sim, published by Xbox Game Studios. Recreates the entire Earth using Bing Maps satellite imagery and Azure cloud processing, with real-time live weather and air traffic. Supports solo free-flight plus live multiplayer where pilots share the same real-world skies. Available on PC (Windows) and Xbox Series X/S, and included with Xbox Game Pass. No competitive ranked mode — a free-form civilian aviation sandbox, not an esport.
