With the delay of Top Gun: Maverick's release in cinemas, the Top Gun expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator gets delayed, too. Paramount pushed back the release date for another six months to May 27. It makes sense that developer Asobo Studio wants the release of the expansion and the film to be synced.

"Paramount Pictures recently shifted the release date of Top Gun: Maverick to Memorial Day weekend, May 27, 2022," the studio wrote in a brief blog post. "As we have previously announced, the Top Gun: Maverick expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator for Windows 10 PC, Steam, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox Game Pass will be released alongside the movie. We look forward to sharing more information in the future."
