Microsoft Flight Simulator adds Halo's Pelican in a free trial, before it becomes paid

Halo's iconic Pelican dropship was just added to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, as Xbox Game Studios and its developers at Asobo Studio celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first game in the series. Of course, Halo was a launch title, so this all lines up with the ongoing Xbox 25th anniversary celebrations surrounding the original console.

Sim enthusiasts on PC, Xbox Series X|S, or PlayStation 5 can fly the D77-TC Pelican for free during a week-long trial period running from November 10 to November 17, 2026. The official announcement stayed firmly in character, describing it as "a highly adaptable, multi-role vehicle," which is all part of the fun. I installed it for myself, and it's incredibly easy to get started.

From the main menu of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, select 'Marketplace' at the bottom, and you should be greeted with a full-width banner advertisement for the 'D77-TC Pelican (free trial)'. If not, use the 'Search Full Catalog' bar at the top of the marketplace and look for keywords like 'Pelican'; you're looking for the 'Microsoft/Asobo' listing.

On its listing, a wide, green 'Get for Free' button rests on the left, and that's what you'll need to press while the week-long trial is active. Once you've claimed the Pelican, you'll find it in the game's aircraft selection menu with a yellow 'New' tag on its frame, named 'Misriah Armory D77-TC Pelican'. Select it, and you can take it to the skies wherever you'd like.

The D77-TC Pelican in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 offers a unique flight model, with the ability to switch between drone and jet propulsion, custom avionics, inspired by the Halo games, a complete interior model, including cargo bay, and 12 liveries.
