Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 PC Requirements Are Demanding, But Not In the Way You Think
With an entire globe to explore and various aircraft to do so in, you'd imagine that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will be a technically demanding game when it takes off from the runway this year. While you'll be able to do some digital tourism on a modest PC setup, if you're aiming to play the game on its minimum or recommended specs, you're going to need quite the rig to handle the game in an "ideal" state on that platform.
Developer Asobo Studio has revealed the minimum, recommended, and ideal system requirements for its flight simulation game, and while the first two tiers aren't too outrageous, the first-class travel experience certainly is demanding. The developer recommends hardware like a 40-series Nvidia GPU with 12GB of VRAM and a chunky 64GB of RAM for the game, as well as a stable 100Mbps internet connection so that you can stream in all of its high-resolution assets.

Compared to the previous Flight Simulator game that took up to 150GB of storage capacity, you'll only need 50GB available for this year's tour of the skies.
