Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 Allows You To ‘Exit The Plane’ And Walk Around

If you’re looking for an extra excuse to take to the skies in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 when it arrives on Xbox and Game Pass this November, read on…

During a chat with PC Gamer, Microsoft Flight Simulator head Jorge Neumann revealed how players will be able to exit their plane and walk around. It seems you’ll even be able to walk your favourite mountain paths:

“You can now exit the plane, walk around, in 2024. You can literally walk your favorite mountain path to your favorite hut in the mountains. Sit on the lake. See the sunset. It is truly a digital twin you can absorb.”

Although there will seemingly be more detail than ever before in this new entry, thankfully the game will be shipped with a “thin” client architecture, so the file size this time shouldn’t be as big as the previous release, with the team “offloading more” to the cloud:

“We’re shipping in November, but we think we’re going to be… I’d say 50 GB or less, but with tons more data, because we are offloading more to the cloud.”
