What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

X-Plane 12 is praised by flight simulation enthusiasts for its comprehensive aeronautical systems, solid performance, and superiority over competing titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, though some players report technical issues and stability problems that may require troubleshooting. While the simulator delivers on its promise as an excellent successor to X-Plane 11 with genuine depth for those interested in realistic flying, players acknowledge the high price point and note that initial setup can be demanding.

I’ve been playing X-Plane since X-Plane 11, when I was only 11 years old. It’s honestly crazy to think about how long I’ve had this simulator in my life. Back then, I just loved flying around and exploring different airplanes. I never expected that, years later, I’d still be here — and now I’m actually planning to be a student pilot. X-Plane has been there through a big part of my childhood and growing up. It was one of the things that made me interested in aviation in the first place, and over the years, that interest slowly turned into a real passion for flying. Of course, X-Plane is still a game and a simulator, but for me it has always meant more than that. It gave me a place to learn, make mistakes, experiment, and most importantly, dream about becoming a pilot. Now that I’m actually learning to fly in real life, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has worked on X-Plane. This simulator played a small but important part in my journey. I hope more people discover aviation through X-Plane, get curious about civil aviation, and maybe even take that first step toward becoming a pilot themselves.

X-Plane 12 price: which licence to buy, and when to buy
