In commemoration of the highly anticipated release of the movie sequel, "Dune: Part Two,", Xbox announced a collaboration with the movie studios on a free Dune-themed expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The Dune expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator lets players explore the skies of Arrakis, a fictional desert featured in the movie, aboard the Royal Atreides Ornithopter, the legendary aircraft from the 2021 movie "Dune: Part One".
Renowned for its "lightning acceleration, blazing speeds, and precision maneuverability," Xbox hyped up players for the formidable challenge ahead of controlling the Royal Atreides Ornithopter as they navigate the harsh environments of Dune.
Starting today, players can go through three tutorials covering take-off, landing, and freefall techniques, followed by six activities ranging from time trials to daring rescue missions amidst massive sandstorms. The expansion is available for download in the Microsoft Flight Simulator In-Sim Marketplace.
