Perhaps not.  End title says you can play it on X-Box.

Definitely not buying an Xbox...or playing a flight sim on a console for that matter! :)

The reviews are dropping today, so you will see it will be available through the Windows store.

Blew my socks off! Can't wait to fly around the world in this one i've done it in earlier versions. Landing at Mc' Merdo, Antartica was unforgettable. I would plan my flight so I could go to sleep  set an alarm and wake up to land. Never touched the date and time settings, I would however change the plane sometimes upon landing. CANT WAIT!

I was only paying partial attention, thought it was video of real life avaition, then realized its the new MSFS, WOW!

The YT video is about 24 hours old and already has over 1 millions views.

I have intel I5 8 gig system ram with gpu of 2g nvidia gt730. Wonder if thats good enough specs.

Wonder if it’ll ever port to steam or host its own servers?

The graphics are outdated, that type of landscapes have been seen since the colour film was invented. Also the terrains are archaic to say the very least and they're tactically illogical as well. Not to mention that the flight modeling seems to allow moves that can't be done with real planes. And all the gauges, switches and knobs! The learning curve must be skyrocketingly steep. If they want it to succeed they'd have to do some heavy advertising on TV channels, so far I've seen none.   :old:

At least the controllers will be easy to set up.
