Remembering the Top Gun: Maverick CrossoverCloseMicrosoft and Paramount worked closely on the release of this expansion. The Top Gun: Maverick expansion went live on May 22, 2022, a whole five days earlier than the film it was based on. On the side, Top Gun: Maverick also added the Darkstar Experimental, the movie's take on the secretive SR-72 reconnaissance plane. If you made the move to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, however, there are other options available. Microsoft has not mentioned any plans to port over the Top Gun: Maverick DLC to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and previous rumors of a return of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator have remained just that for the time being.
