Have You Bought MSFS 2024 Collector's Edition? You'll Play Game Much Later, Unless You Take Advantage of Microsoft's Compensation

Microsoft has just experienced a major setback with the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Collector's Edition.

The Limited Collector's Edition (LCE), which costs around $259.99 plus shipping, will only be available to players in the USA on time. In other regions, including Europe, there has been a delay and shipping won't begin until early December.

This is a big problem because the game itself will be released on the market next Tuesday, which is November 19th. Thus, players from outside the USA who bought the LCE will have to wait a few weeks longer before they start having fun.

1. Microsoft decided to do something about it, but the solution is highly overcomplicated. After contacting the developers, people who purchased the Limited Collector's Edition will receive a token as compensation, enabling them to unlock a monthly Game Pass subscription. The standard edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will be available on this service from the moment of its release, allowing you to play the game from November 19th.
2. At the same time, after sharing their username with the devs in Game Pass, players will receive a free Standard to Aviator Upgrade package, allowing them to unlock additional content offered as part of the Limited Collector’s Edition.

Then, after receiving the LCE, players will need to activate the token included in the box for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Aviator Edition to avoid losing access to the game after their Game Pass subscription expires. If they log in with the same account when exchanging a token, all their in-game progress will be preserved.
