As if Microsoft Flight Simulator didn't look amazing enough, developer Asobo Studio has committed to providing a series of World Updates for the game, starting with the country of Japan.
With this update, Japan now features a high-resolution digital elevation map across the entire country, high-resolution 3D photogrammetry for six prominent Japanese cities (Sendai, Takamatsu, Tokushima, Tokyo, Utsunomiya and Yokohama), and six exquisitely hand-crafted airports (Hachijojima, Kerama, Kushiro, Nagasaki, Shimojishima and Suwanosejima), along with more landmarks, points of interest and Landing Challenges.
The update is completely free for all players on PC (Windows 10, Steam and Xbox Game Pass), and it's available to download right now from Microsoft Flight Simulator's in-game marketplace.
Will you be cruising the skies of Japan this evening? Let us know in the comments.

Aaaarrrrrgggghhhh I want this on console nnnnnooooowwwww!
The wait for this to come to the Series X is killing me.
Just another excellent update that will make playing the Xbox Series X version even sweeter.
@graysoncharles Isn’t that performance mode just Flight Simulator 2004 😉
I wish we had some news about the release for XBox. Or is that one of the things they have to show us before launch?
They don't have to do that much work for me, just make it possible to start, land and the steering and it is ok for me.
Think I'll fly to Taiwan instead to piss off some people. 🤣
I can hardly wait to play this on XSX.
All jokes aside, on a day when a PlayStation launch title is confirmed to have heavy Microtransactions, charging for upgrades is a thing and the price of games has gone up. Microsoft giving a free content update has to be given a lot of credit in the current gaming climate.
Not super Interested in this, but Japan is cool! Maybe I’ll try it out with the new console launch... assuming it comes to consoles. Guess it could be another Xbox Exclusive?
