Flight Simulator redemption issue

Flight Simulator is Play Anywhere so it'll work on both PC and console. He just needs to sign into the console with the same account he used to redeem the code and it should be listed in his library under Games and Apps as ready to install and he can install it from there.

Same issue with Flight Simulator 2020

Hello Edgar D'souza,



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



Please allow me to assume that you are trying to activate the Microsoft Flight Simulator, but seem to be having some difficulty at the moment?



Normally, if you purchase a game directly from the Microsoft Store, the game will be tied directly to your Microsoft account. After downloading and installing the game, log in with your account to play.



But given that you are referring here to the flight simulator key, can I understand that you may have a Microsoft flight simulator code, but you don't know how to redeem it?



You may wish to follow the instructions in the following link to redeem, and once the redemption is complete, the game will be linked to your Microsoft account:

How to redeem your Microsoft Flight Simulator code on your Microsoft account – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)



But if this is not what you want, or I misunderstand your question, since it is a game activation issue, please go to the official Microsoft Flight Simulator forum to try to get help. There is a game support team here to help you:

Flight Simulator X isn't. That is an old game. However Microsoft Flight Simulator is.
