September 21, 20241 yr Which one are you planning on using for your purchase and why? Can 2024 be played outside the Steam client? Thanks! Chris Camp
September 21, 20241 yr Steam! Updating the MS Store version of MFS2020 was , shall we say, not intuitive. Steam version is one click and done...

September 21, 20241 yr I went with Steam for 2020. It was handy because I could use prepaid steam cards to purchase marketplace items. I'm undecided for 2024 but leaning towards the steam version. I do like if you buy from Microsoft you also can play it on xbox, and if you get it for xbox you can use it on PC. I don't have an xbox rigth now but you never know, lol.

Did they improve the update system after I left? 😀 Russ Master Sergeant, U.S. Air Force, Retired Former T-33A Crew Chief Former B-1B Crew Chief / Flightline Maintenance Expediter Former Learjet Corp.

September 21, 20241 yr Steam all the way. Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.
September 21, 20241 yr MS Store/Game Pass. I've used Steam since the very beginning as a long time PC gamer (Orange Box anyone?), but I have had no issues on the MS Store. I have Game Pass anyway and it comes through that. I also get MS Points through their rewards program. Plus you can often find Xbox gift cards on sale and get a few extra bucks off things. I own an Xbox too so it just makes sense, even though I only use MSFS on PC. Nothing wrong with Steam though either. If I didn't have an Xbox and Game Pass already I would probably stick with Steam. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF
September 21, 20241 yr Steam because I have 2020 on steam with few marketplace purchases, and I'd like to keep them.
September 21, 20241 yr I was told in threads here, that you will lose what you own if you switch from Store to Steam or vice versa. In other words your stuff in content manager will not transfer from the Steam in game marketplace to the Store in game marketplace. That's what I asked about here twice. And that's what I was told twice in these forums. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

Surely they are tied to your Microsoft account and not anything related to Steam?
