As a seasoned gamer with a heart full of nostalgia for the Flight Simulator series, I eagerly await the arrival of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Having experienced the thrill and frustration of managing system requirements for games like this in the past, I find myself both excited and slightly daunted by the technical demands of this latest iteration.
In 2024, with the entire world to traverse and multiple types of aircraft to use, it’s likely that Microsoft Flight Simulator will be a technically challenging game upon its release. While you can engage in virtual travel with a modest computer setup, if you want to play the game at its minimum or recommended settings, you’ll need a powerful computer system to ensure smooth gameplay on your platform of choice.
Asobo Studio, the developers behind the flight simulation game, have disclosed the system requirements – minimum, suggested, and top-tier specifications. While the basic and suggested requirements aren’t overly demanding, the premium gaming experience calls for some robust hardware. Asobo Studio advises using a 40-series Nvidia graphics card with 12GB of video memory and a hefty 64GB RAM for the game. They also recommend maintaining a consistent 100Mbps internet speed to ensure smooth streaming of all its high-definition assets.
The good news is that because of this cloud-centric approach, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will have a much smaller footprint on your storage device. Compared to the previous Flight Simulator game that took up to 150GB of storage capacity, you’ll only need 50GB available for this year’s tour of the skies. The high RAM and bandwidth requirements will help stream those assets in quickly, allowing for high-fidelity graphics. Here’s a closer look at the system requirements:
