Microsoft Flight Simulator for Xbox Series X / S consoles

Tom Warren, on theverge.com:

Microsoft Flight Simulator is landing on Xbox Series X / S consoles on July 27th. Available on Xbox Game Pass, it’s the first next-gen-exclusive Xbox Game Studios title as Microsoft Flight Simulator isn’t launching on Xbox One.

I’m fairly close to buying an Xbox S and connecting to my Dell monitor just to play Flight Simulator. But I’m going to wait to see how it performs on xCloud. If it’s comparable, I rather just pay the $10 for the cloud service.

However, the $25 a month for an Xbox S with game pass will sound more justifiable if the gameplay changes a lot. Will have to wait until September it seems.
