Microsoft Flight is a free-to-play aviation simulator developed by Microsoft Studios and released in 2012 for PC, conceived as a successor to the long-running Microsoft Flight Simulator series. The base game includes the Icon A5 light aircraft and the Big Island of Hawaii as a flyable region, with additional aircraft and scenery areas available as paid downloadable content through the Games for Windows Marketplace. Microsoft discontinued active development in July 2012, citing a reorientation of long-term goals, and subsequently closed the Xbox.com PC Marketplace in August 2013, ending the sale of new content. Previously purchased DLC remains functional, and the core game may still be available to download. The title represents a notable attempt to relaunch the Flight Simulator brand under a free-to-play model before the project was abandoned relatively shortly after launch.
