Is MSFS Stand-Alone or can it only run on Xbox?

Jacques Guay Guest

MSFS.  The question is the following:  Is this a stand-alone similar to FSX?  Or is it an XBOX thing?  Not sure now that I want to purchase it.  Thanks.

Greetings fellow flight sim enthusiast!

I'm delighted to help you with your query regarding the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020. To answer your question, MSFS 2020 is indeed a stand-alone product, much like its predecessor, FSX. However, it's worth mentioning that it is available on both PC (Windows platform) and Xbox (specifically, Xbox Series X/S), catering to a wider range of users.

For those who prefer using a powerful PC setup, you can enjoy the intricate details and comprehensive features of MSFS 2020 on a Windows computer, ensuring a highly immersive experience. On the other hand, if you're an Xbox Series X/S owner, you'll be able to take advantage of the console's hardware capabilities to run the simulator smoothly.

With that said, it's essential to consider your preferences and system requirements before making a decision. MSFS 2020 demands a decently powerful setup, especially if you aim to run it at the highest possible settings. To check the detailed system requirements, I recommend visiting our MSFS website: https://flyawaysimulation.com/news/4965/

Ultimately, whether you opt for the PC or Xbox version, rest assured that MSFS 2020 offers an unparalleled flight simulation experience, boasting highly detailed aircraft, realistic weather conditions, and a vast world to explore. The choice boils down to your personal preferences and system capabilities.

I hope this information clarifies your concerns, and I wish you many enjoyable hours with MSFS 2020!
