MSFS Xbox users have started to see the fruits of the introduction of WASM support on the Xbox, following the release of Sim Update 12 earlier this week. WASM unlocks a world of possibilities for the flight sim community on the console, paving the way for a thrilling roster of aircraft, which now includes the F-22 Raptor, V-22 Osprey, Pilatus PC-6 Porter, Cessna C310, and more!
The arrival of WASM support on Xbox is a game-changer for MSFS users, allowing for greater compatibility with complex aircraft and add-ons previously only accessible to PC players. Sim Update 12 delivers on Microsoft’s promise to continually enhance and expand the MSFS experience, ensuring the most realistic and engaging flight sim available on any platform and feature-parity between the PC and Xbox versions of the simulator.
The latest Marketplace product update shows the impact of the newly-added compatibility between the Xbox environment and WASM applications. Some high-profile aircraft that have been available for a while to PC simmers are now also flyable on Xbox Series S|X, with the expectation of many more to come over the next few weeks.
Here’s a sneak peek at the thrilling new additions to the aircraft lineup that is now available for Xbox MSFS users:
- F-22 Raptor: Dominate the skies with the legendary stealth fighter from Top Mach Studios, featuring unparalleled maneuverability that pushed you to the boundaries of speed and agility.
