Why isn't msfs 2024 on steam!

I see MSFS 2024 is available to pre-order, but I can’t on Steam! I have the 2020 version on Steam, and the Microsoft store version won’t sync up with the content I bought in the marketplace through Steam. This isn’t fair and because of that limited time aircraft I’ll get in 2020, it’s something I want greatly.

Ah ok and I see it will come with that limited time aircraft

I think a good option could be selling it via their Marketplace in MSFS2020:))))

Do I have to de-install the the version I have on my pc before downloading the 2024 version? I have a steam version bought on the store. thx

It’s not available yet, but as long as you have the room you won’t need to.

Hello @FlaxenSoda41337,

You can have MSFS (2020) and MSFS2024 both installed on the same device at the same time (as long as you have sufficient storage as @TheSevenflyer wrote above).

Thanks,
MSFS Team

and if I put an external hard drive Seagate, can I install the sim on that?

If your question still refers to Steam, Steam lets you have multiple game libraries. I personally have libraries on my C:, D: and E: drives.

well frankly, I’m not sure. I bought 2020 by the store and I download the sim. With that, do I have just a part of the sim and a part on the cloud or , all the stuff is on my pc?

Im looking for buying the game in max version (Aviator’s Ed.) but on Steam only too.

Thank you for your answer.

Quick question, the bonus preorder (CL-415 in MSFS2020), will it be available on steam too ?

If you bought MSFS through the Microsoft Store, this entire thread doesn’t relate to your situation.

TAKE MY MONEY NOW!!!

XD

I never pre orderd anny game always waited patiently for it to release then go on discount… but MSFS2024 is definetly going to be pre-order :slight_smile:

I have a question related to Steam:

Will in-game purchases transfer if I buy 2024 from a different Steam account but logged into MSFS using the same XBox account?

Right now whenever I have MSFS running I can’t play my other steam games which is annoying as hell especially since MSFS sessions are pretty long on long haul flights.

Yes, it will also be available as a bonus incentive on Steam!

Thanks for the info!

Will happily wait for steam… Far more reliable downloads than MS store.

What about Steam users who also want the physical goodies that come with the Limited Collector’s Edition? If we want to buy on Steam so we can keep addons purchased through Steam, we can’t get these limits editions, we’re stuck with digital downloads.
