We've just received the official Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 PC system requirements. The major advantage over 2020's game is that the installation size on your local drive is much smaller, with only 50GB required.

It's been quite a year for Tango Gameworks. After releasing the acclaimed Hi-Fi Rush in 2023, it was shut down by Microsoft in May 2024, only to be rescued from oblivion a few months later by PUBG publisher Krafton. In a new interview with Game Developer, Krafton CEO Changhan 'CH' Kim explained the company's motivation for snapping up Tango, and he claims it wasn't for money—it was for the love of the game.
Tango Gameworks being shut down after the huge success of Hi-Fi Rush came as a massive shock to a lot of people, and it was a shame to see such a powerful studio be erased. However, Tango Gameworks was then saved by Krafton, who acquired the studio from Microsoft in a "last-minute deal." By acquiring the Japanese studio, they also got the rights to the Hi-Fi Rush franchise. CEO Chang Han 'CH' Kim spoke about their choice to acquire the studio, saying it was creatively motivated rather than commercially.
Beyond just adding more games and IP to its expanding portfolio, Krafton had another reason for buying up Hi-Fi Rushdeveloper Tango Gameworks after it was closed by Xbox, and it wasn’t about the money, according to the CEO.
PUBG's studio reckons a Hi-Fi Rush sequel might not make the company buckets of cash, but the team wasn't saved from a shutdown to be a money-printer anyway.
Five years ago, MoviePass, the subscription-based movie-ticketing service, was acquired by Helios and Matheson Analytics, and the monthly cost was reduced to $9.95. The plus side was that the $10 fee did not have any limitations as to how many movies subscribers could view in a month, with the plan being unlimited. What sounded like a dream come true for millions who would rack up a hefty bill going to watch movies at theaters turned out to be a financial disaster, with former CEO Mitch Lowe admitting that the $9.95 amount was a temporary marketing gimmick.
