Our AirportSim Xbox Series X release time estimate

The game “AirportSim,” developed by MS Games and published by Iceberg Interactive, is set to launch on Xbox Series X|S consoles on August 1, 2024. Since games typically become available on the Microsoft Store at midnight local time, it’s likely that this release will follow suit. This could potentially allow players in New Zealand to access the game ahead of schedule if they adjust their region settings accordingly.

What to expect from AirportSim on Xbox Series X

As a seasoned aviation enthusiast with years of flying experience under my belt, I can confidently say that this simulator is a game-changer for anyone who shares my passion. The ability to execute tasks in realistically modeled airports, complete with intricate details such as accurate ground layouts, plane parking, lines, and gate numbers, truly immerses you in the experience. From the Vagar and Keflavik airports to the bustling Warsaw Chopin airport, each location offers a unique challenge that tests your skills and knowledge.

In this game, it’s not just planes you’ll find. You can also control fuel tankers, baggage carts, and even mobile stairs. Your tasks involve maintaining the airport’s efficient operation while following standard procedures. The developers have collaborated with real-life airlines such as Wizz Air and Norwegian Airlines to ensure an authentic portrayal of these operations. A sneak peek into the game can be seen in the latest trailer, giving you a glimpse of how these systems operate in action.

Certainly, weather plays a crucial role in managing an airport effectively. Real-time weather data provided by METAR helps you handle immediate impacts, while predefined settings simplify the process. The game offers several modes to challenge your skills, including regular situations and competitive scenarios where you compete against other players on leaderboards. Invite friends for cooperation or enjoy solo play in Free Mode at your own pace. Look forward to enhanced Xbox controller controls, but don’t anticipate a flight simulator experience like Microsoft’s Flight Simulator.
