I suppose that's true, as they're giving it a new title (with '2024').

That's true..  When I built my current PC in 2019, I wasn't building it specifically for MSFS 2020, but it was enough to run it (Intel i9-9900K, 32GB RAM, and a Nvidia RTX 2070 Super GPU).  In 2022 I replaced the GPU with a Nvidia RTX 3080 TI, which significantly improved the frame rate.  It was playable with the 2070, but I felt like the video was somewhat jerky, especially in detailed areas.

 Ma> I have the 2020 version and play it in VR

I tried that a few years ago when I bought a Quest VR headset.  I thought it was pretty cool, but I eventually decided to sell the headset.  Now that I have a better video card though, I might buy another and try it again.
