Are you ready to travel the world and take a look at aesthetic mountains, trees, rivers, as  well as architectural designs? Even if the long road trips are aggravating, simply remotely view the world, all in the comfort of your own house. Maybe you prefer “Google Maps,” but in “Microsoft Flight Simulator,” you can hone your pilot skills, getting a picturesque view of your surroundings. “Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0” was back in 1982, and from looking at the evolution of the game, you have to appreciate it. While “Microsoft Flight Simulator” was released on “Windows 10 PC” on August 18, 2020, the game will be released on “Xbox Series X/S” on July 27, 2021.
