While we’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of our most anticipated aircraft on Xbox, I though it would be useful to create a list of aircraft that are confirmed to eventually arrive on Xbox. I have made a number of inquiries in the last few months reaching out to various developers for confirmations/comments. I intend to update the list as new information lands.
Note that this list is primarily focused on aircraft that are more detailed in terms of avionics and other systems than what is currently offered in the base sim.
I’m aware that MSFS Addons has a great list of aircraft that are in development for MSFS, however it does not specify whether the add-ons are expected to release on Xbox.
Milviz have stated that their are currently investigating Xbox compatibility for their products (source: private message exchange with the official Facebook page). Thier products include, most notably, the ATR 42/72.
I have included the projects that were announced by Working Title in a Live Q&A; they will bring many of their mods like the G3000 and CJ4 Improvement mod into the sim and work on improvements of the B787, B747 as well as the flight-planning system and ATC. Naturally, all of these changes will also come to Xbox (Matt from WT confirmed this to me in a private message on Twitch).
If you are interested in the prospect of flight simming on Xbox, you should watch the 1 hr webinar by Mathijs from Aerosoft where he talks about the strengths and challenges of the Xbox platform.
Regarding the Just Flight Aircraft, please read the following comment from Just Flight in the MSFS Forums.
