How to Get Microsoft Flight Simulator via Xbox Game Pass

Just as is the case with many of Microsoft-published titles, Flight Simulator 2020 is available as part of the company’s game subscription service.

It’s worth noting, though, that we’re referring to Xbox Game Pass for PC, a branch of the service that is currently in beta. Those wanting to play Flight Simulator 2020 on Xbox One are out of luck for the time being as no console release date has yet been set in stone.

Now, with that out the way and assuming you’re still with us as a PC player wanting to play the game via Xbox Game Pass PC, you’ll now obviously need to go and purchase a monthly subscription. You can organize it from here; the price is $1 for your first month and then $4.99 after that.

With your membership now active, it’s now just a case of following these easy steps:

  1. Download the Game Pass for PC (Beta) app from this link: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/pc-games

  2. Search for “Microsoft Flight Simulator” in the top navigation bar.

  3. Select Microsoft Flight Simulator from the search results.

  4. Choose to install the game.
