Publisher Microsoft and developer Asobo Studio released Microsoft Flight Simulator launched for the PC in August 2020 and plans to launch the game for the Xbox Series X|S in Summer 2021. While an Xbox One version of the game hasn't been ruled out, the console doesn't seem nearly powerful enough to be able to run it.

An Xbox One version of Microsoft Flight Simulator might actually be happening as it was rated for the Xbox One by PEGI. It is possible this might be a mistake by PEGI, which wouldn't be the first time they have done this. PEGI rated Borderlands 3: Director’s Cut for the Nintendo Switch, which was later confirmed to not be coming to Nintendo's hybrid console.

One way the game could potentially run on the Xbox One would be using Microsoft's xCloud streaming service that is currently available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers via Android.

For now, Microsoft Flight Simulator coming to the Xbox One should be treated as a rumor until confirmed by Microsoft or Asobo Studio.

This would def. be really cool if this can run on the original Xbox One. And if the game is really playable, then Microsoft needs to buy Asobo asap :) They are magicians! But again, I doubt this will be out on Xbox One at all :)
