Microsoft Flight Simulator System requirements revealed

Microsoft Flight Simulator is perhaps amongst the most anticipated game of 2020. While there is no clear release date yet, the game has been in Alpha testing and from what we have seen, it looks gorgeous. 

Microsoft Flight Simulator will have all the 37000 real world airports along with real time air traffic. Also, the map and topography have been mapped out by Bing’s data and you will be able to fly anywhere in the world. Taking into account all of this, one would think that the game would require a decked out rig. Well not really. Here are the system requirements: 

Microsoft Flight Simulator minimum specs 

CPU: Ryzen 3 1200 / Intel i5-4460 

GPU: Radeon RX 570 / NVIDIA GTX 770 

VRAM: 2GB 

RAM: 8GB 

HDD: 150GB 

Bandwidth: 5 Mbps 

Microsoft Flight Simulator recommended specs 

CPU: Ryzen 5 1500X / Intel i5-8400 

GPU: Radeon RX 590 / Nvidia GTX 970 

VRAM: 4GB 

RAM: 16GB 

HDD: 150GB 

Bandwidth: 20 Mbps 

Microsoft Flight Simulator ideal specs 

CPU: Ryzen 7 Pro 2700X / Intel i7-9800X 

GPU: Radeon VII / Nvidia RTX 2080 

VRAM: 8GB

HDD: 150GB (SSD recommended)

As we can see, minimum specs are that of an entry level PC, so most PC players will be able to play the game. It does require a high speed internet connection, though.
