MSFS 2024 – Editions and Pricing
From the developers’ update posted just a few days ago, we have all the latest information about upcoming MSFS 2024. Pre-orders are now available for Xbox and PC through the Microsoft Store and will be coming to Steam on September 26th.

Here are all four editions of the game along with their price tags:

1. Standard – Includes 70 aircraft and 150 airports for $69,99 / €79,99. It will also be available on Game Pass.
2. Deluxe – Features 80 aircraft and 155 airports for $99,99 / €109,99.
3. Premium Deluxe – Comes with 95 aircraft,160 airports, and Jumbo SteelBook for $129,99 / €140,99.
4. Aviator – This Limited Collector’s Edition will cost $199,99 / €219,99. It includes 125 aircraft, 160 airports, and premium items like the Jumbo SteelBook, an Antonov AN-225 model, a flight bag with a 6-pack set, a beautiful retail box, an instruction sheet, a logo pin, a keychain, a collectible lithograph, and a letter from the developers.

I will be getting the $69.99 edition. I am glad they added more arcadey options to the game this time around. Not to mention a reduction in space required. I am worried about the cloud streaming of the assets, as I don't want to see pop-in, buffering or loading.

The 2020 version received a 92 on OpenCritic, with a 98% Critics Recommend. Should be interesting to see if they can top such a lofty score.
