tiger1962 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 It's included with the Deluxe and Premium Deluxe versions, unfortunately there's no discount if you're upgrading from the Standard version.

Same thing for the PC version. Quote Q: Can I upgrade editions? A: Yes it is possible to purchase Upgrade bundles from the in-game Marketplace, but the most cost-efficient way to purchase Microsoft Flight Simulator is to buy the edition you are interested in. If you purchase an upgrade from the Marketplace, it is more advantageous to purchase the Premium Deluxe Upgrade. https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017706059-Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You MAY purchase, but I don't see ANY discount for the previous purchases. SO no you can't. One used to be able to purchase using `Flightsim Credits` but I have no interest, nor knowledge as to how one goes about such a thing, nor the ACTUAL cost... Last time I looked, the cost was the same as the original purchase. Has that now changed? What about discounts for all the sub-par purchases of the previous lacklustre versions? I am not paying again for something so unfinished, without superb discount.

So yes, you can upgrade editions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagorandy Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Sounds like a debate over semantics. Updating vs buying a higher level version? Financially there is no difference whatever you choose to call it. Going to a higher version of MSFS 2020 costs the same as not owning the sim and purchasing the version you want. Po-TAY-to or po-TAH-to. Either way you get a spud. Upgrade/Update/Buy New = the same $$ outlay. IMHO the most 'cost effective' choice is to buy the version with all the features/aircraft/airports that you want the first time. It's the same sim afterall. Happy flying regardless.
