FLYING TIGERS: Shadows Over China Celebrates One-Year Anniversary on Xbox One

FLYING TIGERS: Shadows Over China Celebrates One-Year Anniversary on Xbox One

Sweden – To celebrate the Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China (FTSOC) launch on the Xbox Store one year ago (January 12, 2018), ACE MADDOX is pleased to announce that effective immediately, FTSOC is half the price for two weeks — starting today! (Xbox Store)

In other news, aspiring FTSOC pilots have clocked up an impressive 78,750 flight hours (on Xbox One) since release, which translates to nine years in the skies! Unfortunately, we don’t know how many barrel rounds have been fired during online and offline dogfights in the same period, but it’s likely in the tens of millions! 

FTSOC is normally priced at $18.99 USD in North America (save $9.50), £14.99 in the UK (save £7.60), and €18.99 EUR in mainland Europe (save €9.50).

On a bit of a side-note, the developers also like to share that Xbox One players have been playing rather fairly, using both the arcade-style “combat aided” controls as well as the more advanced “simcade” pitch & roll input method (the latter often with Thrustmaster’s T.Flight Hotas One flight-stick hardware).
