Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 On PC Wants 64GB RAM

If you plan on playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on your PC when it launches in November, you should make sure you have a powerful enough PC.

Microsoft released the PC spec requirements for the game, and they can get quite beefy.

According to the release specs, Microsoft recommends players have at least a AMD Ryzen 7 2700X or Intel Core i7-10700K CPU, an AMD 5700 XT or Nvidia RTX 2080 GPU, and 32GB of RAM for the game. For an “ideal” experience, though, it’s suggested players have a Ryzen 9 7900X or i7-14700K CPU, an RX 7900 XT or RTX 4080 GPU, and a whopping 64GB of RAM in their machine.

There are lower minimum specs for players who just want to play on the lowest-available settings. Those require just a Ryzen 5 2600X or Core i7-6800X CPU, an RX 5700 or RTX 970 GPU, and just 16GB of RAM. So, if you’re worried about not being able to play it at all, you should be able to in some way if you have a remotely modern PC.

If you are concerned about being able to play it, the game will be available via Xbox Game Pass. That allows you to either play it with your subscription or, if you’re new, sign up for a trial to see if it’ll run before you make a purchase decision.
