Hello, welcome back to our forum!
We understand your frustration, but your energy is unfortunately misguided in this case. We would love to release all of our products for Xbox! Some of them, such as our in-game panels for Charts and SimBrief and our avionics plugins, would work perfectly fine on Xbox - if we were allowed to publish them. The Xbox console is an incredibly locked-down and limited platform compared to a normal PC, which is why the marketplace is our only option.
You can see this explanation being mentioned in many topics in this forum. Here are a few:
- In-game panel, simlink, simconnect to xbox users - #2 by skysail
- MSFS2020 / Xbox Series X / Just Flight PA-28 Bundle - HELP! - #4 by skysail
- Navigraph on XBox - #13 by skysail
To summarize: We have all kinds of integrations ready for Xbox as soon as Microsoft lets us publish them. We have asked them multiple times, both in person and through “official” channels, and we have been put on hold every time. One of our theories is that they do not have a good way to handle addons that are free to download but require a subscription to use…
However, the new simulator has a new marketplace that supposedly will support subscriptions! We will once again attempt to make our case for being included and are prepared to go a long way to make it happen!
Make no mistake - Navigraph has never intentionally ignored Xbox users, and we will continue to make every effort to bring as many of our products to Xbox as possible.
Kind Regards,
Malte
