MSFS2020 will require internet access?

Featured Replies

For those using MSFS2020 on a PC, will internet access be required for each session in order to use the sim? Or, for those who have the hard drive space and are able to download a particular region, will it be possible to run the sim while offline, after the initial install?

Already been confirmed multiple times that it's possible.

No it won't but the best experience will require  a connection. Watch this from the horses's mouth :

Do we have a thread that lists everything that's been confirmed? I'm pretty sure we do.
