Flight Simulator returns to the United States for latest World Update makeover Available today on Xbox and PC. News by Matt Wales Reporter Published on 14 Jun 2022 14 comments Just a few days after the surprise arrival of Halo Infinite's Pelican in Flight Simulator, developer Asobo is back with more goodies, this time in the form of a brand-new World Update that revisits the US for another stunning upgrade. Asobo first targeted the US for a bit of a visual makeover in its second-ever World Update back in November 2020, introducing a significant number of improvements to the United States' multitudinous geological and man-made landmarks. At the time, it said the sheer scale of the country meant it would eventually be revisiting the area, and now, seven World Updates later, that day has come.

World Update 10 continues a busy year for Flight Simulator, with Asobo reiterating that two additional World Updates will launch before the end of 2022 - one in August and another October.
