All right. Made it through TSA, just walking around the airport. Got a little bit before my flight, so you know what that means. Coffee.

All right, everyone. We have made it to Phoenix, Arizona, first time ever. And the current temperature is a brisk 104 degrees Fahrenheit. I am already sweating, and I just stepped out of the terminal. But you know, it’s OK, because I’m going to get to play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. I cannot wait.

All right. So we are getting ready to load into the Humvees, as you can see right here, for a tour around the Grand Canyon. It is going to be an amazing day. I cannot wait. Let’s go, baby, let’s go.

What is going on, everybody? It is Malik Prince, and welcome back to the official Xbox Podcast, a very special edition, as you can tell, because we are not in the studio. We are at the stunningly beautiful Grand Canyon. On November 19, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will arrive. It’s being developed by a team that’s not only giving you a map to fly around in– they’re giving you the entire world, literally, with the most sophisticated, immersive, and awe-inspiring flight simulator of all time.
Unreal fidelity, improved tech, and of course, the ability to step into the role in a number of aviation careers, such as search and rescue or aerial firefighting or, what I’m most excited about, aerial advertising. You know the little planes that fly over with the signs? I’m excited to do that. So sit back and relax, because with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, the sky is not the limit. And we’re going to show you just that.
All right. So we have stopped again here at the Grand Canyon, just for another vista. You might be able to see a bunch of creators and people in the press who are taking pictures, making videos. Be sure to check out the content that’s out now as well from them.
The really cool thing about Microsoft Flight Simulator is in the game, the team has done such a great job of providing added detail to the game that you can now land your plane and actually get out and take photos.
Let’s talk about it. Photo mode is going to go so crazy in this game. It’s like a photo mode of your dreams. So if you’ve ever wanted to do that, you can do that in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
MALIK PRINCE (VOICEOVER): And then we ran into a rather common inhabitant of the Grand Canyon, an adorable elk.
…
: all of those things that maybe happen before a pilot even takes off, the preflight checklists and stuff like that. Can you talk a little bit about what else players can expect when they jump in?
CHRISTOPHER BURNETT: Sure, yeah. There’s two big things that we’re adding to this experience for flight simmers. And you mentioned a lot of hard core simmers use other tools and things that they do outside the sim before they even jump into the sim. And we’re just trying to bring more of that experience into the sim’s ecosystem.
…
– Well, again, there are so many updates to what you all did as far as tech wise that we can’t even cover them all. But I’m excited for all– everyone– all the players out there to check out this sim when it releases. Seb, you and the team have done a great job. Thank you so much for chatting with me.
– Thank you.
– Thank you.
– Yeah, thank you. And what better way to cap off the night than with food and drinks as newly made friends vibe and discuss the epic events of the day that would turn into unforgettable memories?
And that is a wrap on the very special edition of the Xbox Podcast from the Grand Canyon in celebration of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. We got to ride in Humvees around the Grand Canyon. We got to take a helicopter, and I scared for my life, but I landed, and it was awesome. But more importantly than that, we got to play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which is incredible. So remember, preorders are open right now, and the game releases on November 19, 2024.
With that, thank you so much. It’s Malik signing off. We’ll catch you next time. Hey, y’all. Good to see you. Good to see you.
– Welcome in, man.
– How y’all doing?
– Great trip today, man.
MALIK PRINCE: Yeah, it was awesome.
