For those who only read the title, its available through cloud gaming, not downloadable

level 2

And for gamepass ultimate, since its cloud enabled....

level 1

I'm skeptical of how well playing this game via cloud on an Xbox One will actually function but I'm willing to give it a shot anyway since it's on Game Pass.

level 2

Bad, really bad. My mate complained about it all night.

level 1

OP, you should have included "via Cloud" after Xbox One.

level 2

On most subreddits, posts generally have to have the article title, word for word. It's more like IGN should have not put the most important part in the subheader.

Thanks to Xbox Cloud Gaming, Microsoft Flight Simulator is now available on a wide range of PCs, Xbox One and other supported devices, powered by custom Xbox Series X hardware.

“Players can enjoy the same awe-inspiring experience as on Xbox Series X|S,” writes Jorg Neumann, head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, in a post on Xbox Wire. “Microsoft Flight Simulator is available for Xbox Series X|S and PC with Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, Windows 10/11 and Steam, and also now on Xbox One and supported mobile phones, tablets and lower-spec PCs via Xbox Cloud Gaming and a Game Pass Ultimate membership.”

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members in 26 supported countries can access cloud gaming today. To find out about all the benefits and how to get started, head over to Xbox Wire.

What you need to know

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator is available on Xbox Series X|S, but the aging Xbox One generation of consoles are not powerful enough to run it.
  • On Tuesday, Xbox revealed that Microsoft Flight Simulator is coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming.
  • Now, Xbox One players can access the Xbox Series X|S title on their console, as long as they have a suitable internet connection to stream it.

Microsoft Flight Simulator made its debut on PC and set the bar for flight simulator games, especially from a visual standpoint. Months later, the title also arrived on Xbox Series X|S consoles, but couldn't come to the older Xbox One generation due to hardware limitations. On Tuesday, Microsoft revealed that — indirectly, at least — Microsoft Flight Simulator is coming to Xbox One.

As part of the first wave of Xbox Game Pass additions, it was revealed that Microsoft Flight Simulator is heading to Xbox Cloud Gaming, Microsoft's cloud platform that enables subscribers to stream hundreds of Xbox games to a variety of devices, including Xbox One.

This means that the full Xbox Series X|S version of Microsoft Flight Simulator can be streamed to Xbox One consoles at up to 1080p and 60 FPS, as long as you have a suitable internet connection to play it. Even better, using this method means you don't have to download this gargantuan game or worry about updates.

This is part of Microsoft's continued efforts to preserve the Xbox One family, even as more and more of the best Xbox games become exclusive to current-gen consoles. You can now play Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox One through Xbox Cloud Gaming, or check out any of the other games heading to Xbox Game Pass in the near future.
