Free Top Gun DLC Release Date Revealed For Microsoft Flight Simulator
The free Top Gun: Maverick expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator is now scheduled to hit PC and Xbox later this month, Xbox announced. Microsoft revealed Flight Simulator's Top Gun DLC nearly a year ago during Xbox's and Bethesda's joint E3 2021 games showcase. The exciting news featured at the tail end of a gameplay trailer for the simulation game's console version, though details were made scarce.
Many may recall that Top Gun's Microsoft Flight Simulator experience originally bore a fall 2021 due date, having been scheduled to launch alongside the film's theatrical release in November. Paramount Pictures postponed the theatrical run, however, citing concerns about a surge in coronavirus cases at the time. As a result, the Flight Simulator DLC similarly faded into the background. Developer Asobo Studio has kept players busy with other content releases, though. November saw the production team roll out Flight Simulator's Air Race expansion, for example, complete with authentic recreations of several world-famous racing aircraft.
