\nMicrosoft and developer Asobo have moved to assure Microsoft Flight Simulator players that the current 2020 version of the game will continue to receive updates, after yesterday’s announcement of a “standalone sequel” shed doubt that the companies would continue their long-standing pledge to provide 10 years’ worth of support.\n<\/p>\n

\nMicrosoft Flight Simulator head Jorg Neumann initially spoke of the studio’s plans to support the 2020 version of the game for a decade back in 2019, a year prior to its release, and it’s a stance that’s been reiterated intermittently ever since. As such, there was much confusion among fans following last night’s Xbox Games Showcase reveal<\/a> of a standalone sequel for 2024 – particularly as Neumann had already hinted at some of its flagship new features<\/a>, including cargo delivery jobs, in relation to the current sim.\n<\/p>\n

\nNow though, in an effort to quell confusion and de-escalate mounting controversy, Neumann has offered clarification on continued support for the 2020 release in a FAQ posted on the Flight Simulator website<\/a>, beginning with the reiteration that Flight Simulator 2024 is a “standalone simulator and the next-generation sequel” and not an update for the existing game.\n<\/p>\n
