Is there any update on the Xbox Series release of this? I just read Skyfaring by Mark Vanhoenacker (recommended btw) which really put me in the mood to play this game!

I think July was the xbox plan and it has started showing up in some app related to it.

I do like the idea of total painlessness but a big chunk of the fun for me is freeware mods and I doubt they'll ever be accommodated.

Yeah I think it appeared on the store or something the other day.

It will be interesting to see what it’s like and which add Ons you can have. Presumably it will be at most the FS2020 marketplace at most?

If The games much the same and I can log in with game pass and have all the same add Ons I’ve bought then I’d be keen to get a new Xbox.

Presumably it would be less glitchy than the pc version?

I don’t think it’s out yet, just something appeared on the Xbox store or similar suggesting something might be happening soon?

There’s no information about it anywhere which made me think it’s got a bit to go before it appears tbh.

I presume they're hoping so. PC gamers will put up with an awful lot more tinkering and explosions than console ones. Set hardware should make a huge difference.

There are some console games that work with freeware mods and you'd expect this would be a prime candidate for it. We'll see.

I’ve seen FS2020 in their game pass adverts (or similar) however I think it’s more artwork for Microsoft than Xbox specific (if that’s what you’d seen)

That's next level stuff and very little else will ever be developed to that extent, or be that tight with the sim's developers.

A lot of the stuff that's must have for me is vastly more obscure.

They're still talking about a scenery gateway system which would mean official integration of third party stuff for everyone, but I'm not totally sure how that's supposed to work and I can think of quite a few airports that were so middling or worse I'd rather stick with the junk original.

June 14th is the rumoured release date on Xbox. I cannot wait, interested to see how it runs on my Series X at 4K.

Yeah it’s going to be awesome if it’s the same with all the marketplace available with your Microsoft account.

Not sure I want to get an Xbox for it and then buy all the same DLC again though.

I thought initially it would be more dumbed down and arcadey but interviews and information suggest it will be very similar to the pc version.

Surprised we haven’t seen any beta testing or clips of it though?

Will this work on a rather old Xbox One S, does anyone know?

If so, I might wipe the dust off mine and give it a go...

Obviously the pc promo videos weren’t quite the same as the final product . . . . but . .

Yes it will. It's billed as X and S.

I presume they'll have to tune it down a fair way but they're not going to offer it if it doesn't cut it.
