In the Top Gun: Maverick expansion, Microsoft Flight Simulator players, on Xbox, will learn high-speed maneuvering and unrestricted take-offs. Plus, they can even perform low altitude stunts, similar to those featured in Tom Cruise’s movie.

After finishing the training, the players will face five challenges. These include traversing through canyons and above the mountains at very high speed.

The Top Gun: Maverick expansion also includes a hypersonic aircraft, capable of reaching the speed of up to Mach 10. It’s similar to a scene in the film where Tom Cruise flies an aircraft at this exact speed (even beyond that).

Maverick, which is a sequel to 1986’s classic action title, earned a staggering $156 million in the first four days in the US. It’s the first time that actor, Tom Cruise has witnessed an opening of $100 million in his career.
