Microsoft Confirms VR Support Coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator In Future Update

Uskompuf · Aug 3, 2020

Microsoft has recently confirmed plans to bring VR support to their upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator which is set to launch August 18th. VR support won't be available at launch and will instead be releasing as a free update beginning fall 2020. This update will bring VR support to all Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) headsets and coincides with the launch of the HP Reverb G2. Microsoft plans to support additional platforms/headsets in the future. Microsoft also announced that the popular optical motion tracking TrackIR system will be supported at launch.

I've seen the prices, thank you. For me its € 69,99 for the standard version.

But to make it a bit more clearer (for you) it's still a bit to high for me as in I'll wait for a sale.

Think there was a misunderstanding there. They thought you meant drop, as in "reveal" (i.e: when will they drop the release date?). You meant drop, as in "lower" (I hope they drop the price).

Oh okay, my bad. Yes, I meant the latter.

Or buy the Game pass for 5 dollars a month, the standard version is included in the game pass so you can get that game plus more.
