November 7, 2025Nov 7 Rockstar Games announced delay of the GTA6 release back to NOV26. As @sherv_BBS said in the last dev update, Bluebird's 757 will be released before GTA6. This means for us simmers, the release window of the 757 also shifts backwards ☹ https://www.ign.com/articles/gta-6-is-delayed-again-until-november-2026
November 7, 2025Nov 7 Oh my goodness I forgot about the fact that they said that! 😄 I wouldn't be surprised if the 757 really gets released in october/november, if gta6 doesn't get pushed even further... Edited November 7, 2025Nov 7 by dzmitry

November 7, 2025Nov 7 Release 2028 at the earliest for best case. 2030 for the Synaptic A220 sponsored by iNibuilds. I will go back into my cave now. Yes MS 2028 announcement and will be released before any of these products release. Edited November 7, 2025Nov 7 by JBDB-MD80

November 7, 2025Nov 7 I would be interested to know how long it took for the FSX userbase to become larger than the FS2004 userbase. I suspect that it was much, much faster than MSFS 2020 to MSFS 2024.

November 7, 2025Nov 7 I'm confused, why is there any association / correlation between GTA6 and the Blackbird Bluebird 757? Why is one release in any way related to the other?

Guess how long that lasted... You don't have to guess. There's plenty of public data to form a reasonable opinion. Steam concurrent players (snapshot-able) MSFS 2020 typically has more concurrent players than 2024. For example: SteamDB shows higher live players for 2020 right now, and historically a much higher all-time peak (61,829 for 2020 vs. 24,863 for 2024). The public data suggest MSFS 2020 is still the preferred sim, with MSFS 2024 slowly closing the gap. Community survey (broadest public panel) The Navigraph FlightSim Community Survey 2024 (published Apr 16, 2025) indicates MSFS 2020 remains the primary sim for ~52% of respondents, while MSFS 2024 is ~24.9%; combined MSFS share is ~77% (rest split among X-Plane, P3D, etc.). The public data suggest MSFS 2020 is still the preferred sim, with MSFS 2024 slowly closing the gap. As a developer, it's completely justifiable to build for MSFS 2020 first, as thats where the bulk of the market resides. Matt King

I think you meant Bluebird Simulations. Bluebird said on Reddit that their 757 will come out before GTA 6 is released. That was based on the GTA 6 release date of May in 2026, when Bluebird said this on Reddit. Yesterday, Rockstar pushed back the release date of GTA 6 to November of 2026. So the OP thinks that the Bluebird Simulations 757 release date will also be pushed back. But I don't necessarily think so. When Bluebird said that on Reddit, they had May of 2026 in mind, which meant they were confident that their 757 would be released before May of 2026. I haven't read anything from Bluebird staff saying the date for their 757 has been pushed back. Edited November 7, 2025Nov 7 by abrams_tank i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM
November 7, 2025Nov 7 Both sims are microsoft products, so it's not necessary a bad thing for the company.
