Early on one needed to understand how the Store app worked and it was clearly less than intuitive Umm, yeah. That's why I switched to Steam...

Everybody is entitled to his/her opinion but I dislike misinformation and some seem to religiously try to attack one store and defend the other Personal experience will drive most people's opinions of which store is better - which is not 'attacking' either. In my case I purchased from the store. No problems in the first year, but then I was without MSFS for four days while I tried to fix a problem. On another occasion I joined a beta, which ended up requiring a re-install of the SIM. At that point I purchased the steam version. I have had no problems in the past three years which included several betas. I would recommend Steam from my own experience. However, I have no doubt many users have had no problems at all with their store version.

However I have lots of marketplace purchases that I’d lose, so MS it is. On 9/22/2024 at 10:51 AM, Christopher Low said: Why would you lose your MS Marketplace purchases? Surely they could be reinstalled in MSFS 2024? On 9/22/2024 at 11:55 AM, bennyboy75 said: Apparently not. If you switch from MS store to Steam or vice versa, anything you purchased from the former is lost. It’s very annoying. On 9/22/2024 at 12:53 PM, Rimshot said: I went with the MS store again. I intended to purchase MSFS 2024 through Steam, but having purchased addons in the MS store and the remarks by some in these forums I might loose these after a Steam purchase (still have not seen an official link confirming this), convinced me to go MS store again. Although I prefer Steam I find the Xbox app very intuitive as well. I never had issues upgrading MSFS 2020. Bring on MSFS 2024! On 9/22/2024 at 1:36 PM, Vel said: I'm glad I read this thread. I was going to switch to Steam but if I lose my MS Store purchases I guess that's now not going to happen. Just to make sure we get the word out. It has now been confirmed in the MSFS2024 FAQ that purchases made can transfer over between Steam and MS store. Download my repaints at AVSIM.

October 19, 20241 yr Still haven't made the purchase, but I am also enjoying GA flying on my phone and tablet with xcloud, and am sure I will enjoy it even more once the ground level detail increases. Store again for sure!

October 19, 20241 yr Always Steam for me. Like some others on here I have all my games on Steam and I'm used to managing them that way. I will say however that I think its really cool for those who have a PC and Xbox that you only need to get the game once and then enjoy it on both platforms.
