Microsoft Flight Will Be Free
The successor to Microsoft's long-running Flight Simulator series will be hitting Windows PCs this spring -- and it won't cost you a thing.
The game seeks to give hardcore aviators the realistic, detailed controls that was the hallmark of the Flight Simulator series while providing a more accessible point of entry for novice pilots.
After downloading the game for free, you'll be able to instantly fly around the gorgeous Big Island of Hawaii. Also, if you sign in with your Games for Windows Live account, you'll get bonus content like a Boeing Stearman plane, new missions, and access to Achievements. After that, Microsoft will offer additional for-pay content like new aircraft and areas.
For more on the game, go to the official site. You can sign up for the Microsoft Flight beta here.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
