Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024offers numerous improvements over its 2020 predecessor, one of which is asignificantly reduced installation size. According to system requirements, the game will require only about50 GB of free storage space.
This reduced installation size eliminates the need for pre-loading the game for most players. However, in many parts of the world,downloading 50 GB can still take hours. Unfortunately, players will need to download it on launch day, as thedeveloper has not announced a preload option, and it appears unlikely they will.
