MicroProse has announced that the MicroProse B-17G for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is now available on the official Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace for PC and Xbox.

The B-17G brings the iconic Flying Fortress to the Marketplace ecosystem, making it easier than ever for sim pilots on both platforms to purchase, install, and fly directly through Microsoft’s platform.

If you’ve been following development, you may know the initial plan was to bring the B-17G to a more mature state before releasing an Xbox version. After assessing the aircraft’s current status on console, MicroProse decided it didn’t make sense to delay the release. The B-17G is therefore launching on both PC and Xbox at the same time, with updates delivered to both versions going forward.

To thank the community for its patience, and since the company was unable to release the B-17G in Early Access on the Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace, MicroProse is offering a time-limited launch discount during the first week. For one week only, the price will be reduced from USD $39.99 to USD $33.49.
