Explore the Jurassic World Islands in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is taking players to the world of dinosaurs with the new Jurassic World: Archipelago expansion. This exciting add-on allows virtual pilots to explore the legendary Cinco Muertes Archipelago from the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films. Fans can fly over Isla Nublar and its surrounding islands, spotting iconic park structures and more than 10 species of dinosaurs roaming the terrain. Whether you’re a flight simulation enthusiast or a Jurassic World fan, this expansion delivers a unique adventure that blends aviation with prehistoric thrills.

What to Expect in Jurassic World: Archipelago

The expansion introduces five explorable islands—Isla Nublar, Sorna, Matanceros, Peña, and Tacaño—each featuring unique landscapes inspired by the films. Players can experience the islands as they were before the events of Jurassic World, with an operational park that isn’t entirely under control. Isla Sorna, known for its abandoned breeding facilities, offers an eerie experience, while Isla Nublar brings the park to life with bustling activity and roaming dinosaurs like brachiosaurus, stegosaurus, and velociraptor.

New Adventures and Flight Challenges Await

Beyond sightseeing, the Jurassic World: Archipelago expansion offers immersive gameplay challenges. Players can take on missions such as transporting VIPs between the islands, conducting guided aerial tours, and landing at recognizable airfields and helipads from the movies. These activities bring an exciting twist to traditional flight simulation, adding the thrill of navigating skies where dinosaurs freely roam below.

Release Window and Compatibility Details

Jurassic World: Archipelago is officially set to release in late August or early September 2025. It will be available on Xbox and PC for all editions of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, including the Standard Edition available via Xbox Game Pass. Developer Orbx also confirmed future plans to bring compatible content to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and X-Plane 12, ensuring more players can enjoy the experience. This expansion combines cinematic nostalgia with aviation excitement, making it a must-try for fans of both flight simulators and Jurassic World.
