If you've been holding off on picking up Microsoft Flight Simulator then now could be the perfect opportunity.

As part of Amazon's Prime Day deals, Microsoft Flight Simulator has had its price slashed in both the UK and US, meaning you can soar the skies for less. In the UK, the Standard Edition is down to just £46.98 while those in the US can save $15 on the  Deluxe, Premium Deluxe, and Standard Editions. (Not in the UK or US? Scroll down for deals in your region).

It's worth noting all these deals are for digital editions of the game but they will work across Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.

These aren't the lowest prices we've seen for Microsoft Flight Simulator and we imagine that we'll see even bigger discounts during Black Friday 2022, but they're not to be sniffed at if you've been eyeing the Xbox and PC exclusive, especially as it's one of the best Xbox Series X games available right now.

It's a great time to pick up Microsoft Flight Sim as the Top Gun: Maverick DLC was recently released (which is free to those on Xbox Series X|S and PC), adding high-speed challenges and new liveries that make you really feel like Tom Cruise as you fly through the skies. 

What's more, an extended 40th Anniversary Edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator is set to release in November, which adds new aircraft from across the series and will be free for those who already own the base game.

If that's not tempting enough, we're also seeing some excellent deals on Thrustmaster flight sticks right now that will take your flight sim experience to another level. Check them out, below:
