October 10, 20196 yr X-Box Game Pass is the equivalent of Netflix. If you watch a lot of movies, Netflix can be great. It doesn't stop you from buying individual movies online. For X-Box games or for PC games, you don't need it to buy individual games. Even if something similar comes out for PC, it's going to be optional. You can still get it, but I imagine most AVSIM people won't be interested. And game pass is not the same thing as a gamer tag or a Microsoft gaming account. It's not relevant to a hypothetical MSFS2020 subscription one way or the other. So just get it out of your mind. Edited October 10, 20196 yr by carbonbasedlifeform More info

Just a little correction, there's already a PC version of it. It's in beta and it costs 4.99 dollars.

I can't find MS Flight Simulator in the list of available beta games.
October 10, 20196 yr I can not understand why you are all afraid of subscription. The beauty and the size of this world does not fit on a hard disk we have at home. But MS still offers us the possibility of being streamed. Servers cost money, and I'm glad to use this opportunity. That's why I'm ready to pay for it. The question should be rather which price is appropriate.

October 10, 20196 yr I thought this was clear from August pretty much, since that is when the topics about the Game Pass started to appear 🤣 Let's hope people understands it now! Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."

Go here to register: https://www.flightsimulator.com/insider-home/ for the current alpha/beta program.

Don't confuse people. 😉 The point of this thread is that game pass is irrelevant to the whole hypothetical subscription issue.

Yes, you need a Microsoft gaming account but that is not what the game pass is. Again, forget about "game pass", including with respect to the beta.

October 10, 20196 yr I think it will depend how you use it for the full fat scenery steaming ?? Raymond Fry.

I think you probably need an Xbox/ms login, but game pass is something completely different (I have the beta version on PC at the moment). sorry, saw someone already corrected this.
