“Activision is targeting the next Call of Duty for late October, with Avowed and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 likely to follow in November and Indiana Jones in December.”

That's probably reasonable anyway and in line with expectations in general.

By then it should be called MSFS 2025.

Almost!

Best regards.

Whilst I wouldn't be surprised if it does release that late in the year, I would have thought releasing a a product with '2024' in the title dates it pretty early when two months later its 2025. Would have thought they'd have called it 2025 ... as they did with FS9 (FS2004) that released in 2003.

I would not move into it anyway until the end of Q1-25 at least. 3rd party compatibility is the main reason, so I can sleep now 🙂

There could be a re-brand at the June Xbox Showcase event.

I wonder whether the original target release date was August/September, but development issues, appeasing Xbox senior management, or both, means a later than originally envisioned launch (assuming this rumour is correct).

Tom seems to be guesstimating the 2024 and Avowed dates here. He seems to have a source for the Activision and Bethesda games but not those two.

Why post something like this that is simply a "Rumor".

Seems pointless!

The forum threads have been rather dull lately.  Quite up for a bit of flightsim gossip.

I’ve got a 11 day vacation in mid November and then Thanksgiving right after so zero time for MSFS so I’m positive it will come out during that time frame. At least the massive bandwidth issues with downloads and initial “how do I” questions will be answered regarding moving stuff from MS2020 to MS2024.

They will probably release it in September, but it will not be available to purchase from the MS Marketplace until November

X-Box Games Showcase is June 9th, we'll probably get the release date then.

I'll get it when its on sale.

MSFS will go on sale in 2026-2027 when they announce MSFS 2028.
