From the co-pilot's voice-over to the perspective of the visuals on screen, the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is one of the most highly anticipated games. Prior to its release, Reddit users are now talking about detailed leaks.

However, the video posted on YouTube has been taken down over 'copyright issues' a few hours after it was posted. The 13-minute leaked footage of the actual gameplay has leaked online, leaving Reddit users thrilled even before the official release. The video showed no narration or commentary, but the actual gameplay that gamers can experience in the game.

Nonetheless, another Reddit user was quick to spot a copy of the deleted video posted on forum site 'JoyFreak'. You can watch it here:


Simulation type games are among the best categories in the gaming industry, because it allows the player to simulate life's events, such as flying an aircraft. Playing the game will let them be the pilot, and putting their headphones on even adds to the simulation.

The Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is also known as Flight Simulator 2020, an upcoming flight simulator from Xbox Game Studios and Asobo Studio. It is exclusively available to play on Microsoft Windows and Xbox One.

What consumers are saying

This was not the first time details about the gameplay were released. It was during early January when the official game design came out and was published by Microsoft.

During last summer, the company began testing the game through its Insider Program. Though without an official release date yet that month, there are several things to anticipate in the game, leaving users and gamers talking about it.

"User interface looks great. A step up for sure from fsx," wrote Reddit netizen Ry_Dog566.

They also discussed how the game presents the buildings re-created in the most accurate way.

"If there's enough map data then you get accurate 3D buildings. If they only have the data to see the footprint accurately then you get buildings that fit the footprint but don't look like the real building," Reddit's yaosio added.

However, there were also user comments that criticized the gameplay leaked footage constructively. For instance, GroX256 posted, "I was hoping tower voice would be more realistic and less enthusiastic. Helps with the realism. I hate hearing that fake voice."

Release date

The Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is set for release on August 18 on Microsoft Windows. It will feature 30 different aircrafts and 40 various airports. The features include dynamic weather, allowing users to modify based on the weather they want the airplane to fly.
