When Microsoft Flight Simulator It hit the market in 2020, a physical version was available on PC, but with a small drawback. Instead of counting one disc, the package includes 10. In this way, with the arrival of the 40th AnniversaryWe were wondering if something like this would happen again.but now with all the updates we’ve seen over the past two years in one place.
Thus, we recently had the opportunity to speak with the Executive Producer of Asobo Studio to Microsoft Flight Simulator on the possibility that the 40th Anniversaryas a complete package, is available, either on PC or Xbox consoles in physical format. This was what he told us:
“The release version used 10 discs, it was hard to find someone who could make a package like that. If we did the same thing with all the updates, we would be looking at a package with 15 or 16 discs, and I don’t know who is willing to do this. I also like to have my physical games, I like to have physical things, I like to see art. However, Microsoft Flight Simulator is not made for a physical format.
When we talk about preservation, we mean information. To the preservation of the planes, but also of the scenes”.
Unfortunately, it appears that this will not be the case. Not only this, but the idea for the original 10-disc release was a miracle. Along with this, let’s remember that the Xbox disc is just a key, since experience is constantly growing, and the necessary information does not fit on one disk. In related topics, the developers reveal why it took so long to include helicopters. In the same way, here you can check our hands-on of this expansion.
