March 6Mar 6 Well, well, well…😎 Seems like our fears of an AI exec abandoning Xbox hardware are unfounded: Sounds neat, but also sounds like price might also move up a tier. Personally, I’d rather have a hardware-refreshed Xbox X v2 for cost-effectiveness.
March 6Mar 6 Well that is good, because there wouldn't be MSFS without Xbox. I was actually a little worried for a minute. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
March 6Mar 6 The other issue this touches is on is something I've opined about here a few times and this is as Xbox hardware improves we can expect more out of our highest end PCs as any constraints created to accommodate Xbox will be moved up a notch or two...so great news for MSFS users. That may translate to better LOD, and maybe even a bump up in voxel grid volumetric cloud rendering.

March 6Mar 6 I only use my PC for MSFS and will upgrade soon and lost the will to futz with OSes so count me in. Also, I'm getting pretty good with the XBOX controller. dd Edited March 6Mar 6 by Sky_Pilot071

March 7Mar 7 @UrgentSiesta Thanks for the news…! 20+ years on PC, and ~6 years and running now, exclusively on Xbox. So, after all, I may not have to usurp that PS5 from my youngster…🙂…

What I think would be ironically cool is if they do make it Steam compatible, we could also have X-Plane and maybe even DCS World on it!
