Flight Simulator won’t start without GamePass

Calicjhw · Feb 15, 2023

I purchased Microsoft flight simulator 2020 outright in March 2020. Subsequently I upgraded to game pass ultimate. Somewhere along the line my copy of Microsoft flight simulator got tied to my game pass, and just recently I canceled game pass ultimate. now when I try and open Microsoft flight simulator, I get the “it is too early to launch this games message.”

How can I get it to recognize that I have the game standalone?

First, thank you so much for contacting us regarding your concern. I do look forward to resolving this problem together!

Can you uninstall the copy you currently have installed and install the game through your games library?

So buy Flight Simulator

Xcloud servers require expensive hardware and internet connections to function. You need to oay to rent the hardware if youre not bringing your own through your GamePass Ultimate subscription.

Flight simulator is not playable through Xcloud at this time, and likely wont be till the summer console launch

Domeone is paying for everything, even if it’s “free”
