From ORBX and Universal Products & Experiences:
Orbx, in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, has officially released Jurassic World: Archipelago, a brand-new expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, inspired by the Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment films. Available now on PC via OrbxDirect, the add-on brings a unique blend of cinematic storytelling and scenic flying to the sim world.
With more than four decades of history behind it, the flight sim world now welcomes something entirely new. This release marks a unique moment, offering something fresh for long-time flight sim fans while inviting Jurassic World fans to experience this beloved IP in the game for the first time.
With Jurassic World: Archipelago, players and pilots can explore a fully recreated version of the iconic island chain, including Isla Nublar, Isla Sorna, and the greater Muertes Archipelago. They will fly over lush terrain, land at tucked-away airstrips, and spot dinosaurs moving through the trees, all designed using detailed references from the movies.
What is included:
- Highly detailed islands: Isla Nublar, Isla Sorna, and the Muertes Archipelago islands
- Custom airfields and helipads
- Animated dinosaurs and reptiles roam land, water, and skies
- Themed aircraft liveries and unique flight activities integrated into gameplay
- Jurassic World themed missions

“This project has been a real passion for our team,” said Anna Cicognani, CEO of Orbx. “Combining flight simulation with our love of Jurassic World has been both exciting and groundbreaking. We’ve aimed to create something that feels fun, familiar, and full of surprises for fans of both worlds.”
Jurassic World: Archipelago is available now for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on PC via OrbxDirect and Orbx Central for approx. USD 24.99 (AUD 38.44). The final amount at checkout may differ based on the country’s taxes and currency exchange rates.
