Well, today, the 737 stole the spot on PMDG’s social media so… the math is simple… it will be out on time for Christmas… right? Right? Once the DC-6 made it to PMDG’s Facebook cover, we only had to wait about a month for the release.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is already available for Windows 10 and Steam, and Xbox Series X|S.Ok, this is maybe too speculative, but hear me out.

Recently, we published our latest interview with head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann and we heard more about Microsoft’s plans for the next few months, including World Update Australia. Lastly, he mentioned that the Jetstream 4100 will “very likely” come to Microsoft Flight Simulator as well when the team finds a gap in the schedule to fit its development. He remained coy about his recent tease of a 757. Randazzo believes the process is going to be finished “well into 2023.” After that, they’ll be working on the next airplane. We then hear that PMDG’s entire development agenda is taken up by moving the 737, the 777, and the 747 into MSFS. It’s going to be a really good combination of high product quality and affordability for the marketplace.” “I think people are going to be absolutely stunned at how far the waterline retreats on pricing. He also provided hints on what we can expect in terms of pricing. There are still things that don’t look quite right, but those will be fixed, and “when it does come out, it’ll be the nicest product ever put forward.” The Boeing 737 will probably release in January “or a little bit later.” Videos will be coming over the next couple of weeks and Randazzo teased that the model is unlike anything we’ve seen in a simulator before. He also explained that since Microsoft Flight Simulator allows developers to reach many more users, he expects the prices of addons are going to drop pretty dramatically over time.
The version for Microsoft Flight Simulator outsold in less than twelve hours its lifetime sales of the versions for Flight Simulator X, P3D, and X-plane combined, “blowing away” these metrics.
Randazzo shared that PMDG was surprised by its sales performance.
We hear that the excellent Douglas DC-6 is going to release on the official marketplace for PC (it’s also coming later to Xbox). Last, but not least, PMDG founder and CEO Robert Randazzo also appeared in an extensive interview on Sky Blue Radio (which you can listen to in its entirety below), providing some really interesting details on upcoming releases and more.
