Microsoft Flight Simulator has had a hell of a first year, and it seems the rate of new content and updates is only picking up. Today during Microsoft’s pre-Gamescom Xbox showcase, they revealed a wide range of upcoming content, including World Update 6, which focuses on Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the new “Local Legends” series that recreates various regionally-famous aircraft, the Reno Air Races, and more. Oh, and yes, that Top Gun DLC is still coming, but due to movie embargoes Microsoft can’t say too much about it yet. Here’s a look at the Germany, Austria, and Switzerland update.
Here’s a bit more detail on World Update 6…
And here’s a trailer and details for the Reno Air Races, which is being called the “first major expansion” for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Finally, you can check out a couple new aircraft, the Local Legend Junkers JU-52 and the futuristic drone-like Volocopter.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S. World Update 6 and the Junker JU052 will be available on September 7, the Volocopter arrives in November, and the Reno Air Races launch sometime this fall. Oh, and expect that Top Gun content around the release of Top Gun: Maverick in theaters on November 19.
