Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 global launch times – next big sim landing soon

With no delays expected, even at the baggage carousel or passport control, Microsoft and Asabo are about to land Flight Simulator 2024 after a seemingly smooth flight. The peanuts have been served, everybody’s personal devices are on airplane mode, and if you peer into the distance you can just about see it approaching the runway.

Microsoft’s long-awaited update to its phenomenal Flight Simulator 2020 is almost upon us and we now have all the release times across the globe which you can find below.

The good news is that you can pre-install via Xbox Game Pass and the game will be present on Day One, meaning if you are a subscriber to Microsoft’s gaming library service, you can cut down your expense a little and blow your savings on some tasty Day One DLC.

Flight Sim launch times

Microsoft has provided the global launch times for a city near you and presented it like a department board which is a nice touch. If you look below we have taken all that info and popped it into a handy table below and listed it all in alphabetical order. You may be surprised to see the tiny Oceanic island of Kiribati listed, but now we are even getting Easter Eggs in our release time announcements. Many long-time virtual pilots know that Kiribati was the first location on the planet that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 became available all those years ago.

So go ahead and get the pre-load files installed to give you a head start and we will see you in the skies in just a few days time.
