MS Flight Simulator 2024: Play with our Microsoft Store keys on Windows and Xbox - here's how

Is it possible to buy just one game key and play on PC and Xbox at no extra cost? And whether it works. We explain this using an example with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

Quite a few gamers play on PC in a Windows environment, but also have a console on the table or on the TV lowboard at the same time. This is sometimes advantageous for owners of an Xbox Series X or S. This is because Microsoft's Xbox Play Anywhere program opens the door to cross-platform gaming. This means that if you buy a digital key with the Play Anywhere feature, you can play the game on Windows 10/11 as well as on your Xbox Series X|S.

This also applies to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, for which we offer you three digital editions (Standard, Premium Deluxe, Aviator Edition) - all with bonus firefighting aircraft for pre-orderers (playable immediately after purchase in MSFS2020) and all for activation in the Microsoft Store.

Play with it on your PC and optionally also on your Xbox Series X or S. Even your game saves, progress and add-ons are transferred via the cloud between Windows PC and Xbox console.

How to recognise Play Anywhere games on Gamesplanet

On our product pages with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, it is at the top of the information box: ‘Note: Playable on Windows PC and Xbox Series X|S.’ This is the label for games in the Xbox Play Anywhere program. At the top right, below the pre-order/purchase button, you can also see that this is a key for the Microsoft Store: ‘Delivery: Microsoft Key’*.

*A few titles may only be available on PC, such as Minecraft Java & Bedrock Edition
