Updates to MSFS 2024: Automatic or Manual?

[tonyventura55]

Hello, I'm new to the STEAM platform. Will STEAM automatically apply updates to MSFS 2024, or will I need to manually update MSFS 2024? Also, is the version/build, etc., displayed anywhere in the game so that I am aware of the actual version?

Thank you for any information.

hi,
when an Update Version is abvailable , you will see it on the left side. Usually, it will also be updated automatically. It will not be updated, if you deactivate the automatic update in Steam. Nevertheless, an available update version is highlighted, you can see it then. So it is for me at least.

Hi Onkel_Bob,

Thank you so much for your reply. It looks like the automatic updates were already enabled.

After launching the STEAM client application:

1. Click LIBRARY.
2. Under Recent Games, right-click Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and select Properties...
3. On the left sidebar, click Updates.
4. Choose the desired method of updating.

Best regards,
Tony

Steam automatically updates the game when there is one and if you haven't finished downloading it yet you'll have to wait before the play button appears.

I'm also seeing some misconceptions about this game being cloud based and people thinking there are no updates, there are, there have been 2 updates so far, the last one was on Dec 20th.
