Microsoft’s previous-gen Xbox console, the Xbox One, was released nearly a decade ago on November 22, 2013. While its aging hardware has been completely overshadowed and would normally be incapable of running select next-gen titles that require the power of the Xbox Series X|S, Microsoft will be enabling these experiences for the Xbox One anyway with the magic of its cloud gaming service, Xbox Cloud Gaming. One of these titles will be Asobo Studio’s Microsoft Flight Simulator, which has proven to be particularly demanding even for PCs in its highest quality settings.
We’re excited to see developers realize their visions in ways that only next-gen hardware will allow them to do. For the millions of people who play on Xbox One consoles today, we are looking forward to sharing more about how we will bring many of these next-gen games, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, to your console through Xbox Cloud Gaming, just like we do with mobile devices, tablets, and browsers.
