Welcome to the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Sim Update 1 public beta test!
The first Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Beta previewing Sim Update 1 is now available on PC-MS Store, PC-Steam, and Xbox Series X|S.
For those familiar with the previous Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) public tests, the process to join/leave the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Beta is the same and instructions have been provided below. You must own Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (or have an appropriate Xbox Game Pass subscription) to participate on the platform of your choice.
Please note the in-sim Marketplace is planned to release with Sim Update 1 but will not be accessible during the Beta. You will still be able to access your available owned content via My Library and utilize the same functionality currently present in the sim.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU JOIN
Please remember if you decide to join the Beta and install the build, you will likely have to re-install your sim if you wish to leave the Beta before it ends. If you did not opt out of the last Beta, you will automatically stay in this Beta and receive the next build.
In addition, while in Multiplayer Mode, you will only see users who are in the same build as you.
