Every xCloud flight game
War Thunder, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Ace Combat 7, Star Wars Squadrons — if it streams on Xbox Cloud Gaming, your stick works. No per-game setup.
War Thunder · MSFS · Project Wingman · Every xCloud flight game
Xbox Cloud
Flight Stick Support.
Your HOTAS, on xCloud.
Plug in any HOTAS or joystick — Thrustmaster T.16000M, Saitek X52, Logitech X56, Warthog, or any HID-compatible stick. xFlightStick translates it into a standard Xbox controller for Xbox Cloud Gaming so War Thunder, MSFS and every flight game on xCloud just work, with real stick, rudder and throttle.
What you get
Flight stick, joystick & HOTAS support that feels invisible.
Any HOTAS, out of the box
Thrustmaster T.16000M, Saitek X52 / X52 Pro, Logitech X56, Warthog, VIRPIL — or any HID-compatible joystick. Detected automatically, no drivers.
Full axis control
Map pitch, roll, yaw, throttle and camera axes independently. Per-axis deadzone, sensitivity curves and invert. Named profiles per device.
Live overlay, never guess
A small on-screen panel mirrors your stick position and throttle in real time — so you always know the input is reaching the game before you take off.
Games that work
Built for every flight game on Xbox Cloud.
xFlightStick doesn't touch the game — it tells xCloud your HOTAS is an Xbox controller. Every flight title on Xbox Cloud Gaming works the moment you plug in, whether it's on Game Pass or a game you already own.

FAQ
Questions we get a lot.
Can you use a flight stick or HOTAS with Xbox Cloud Gaming?
Out of the box, no — Xbox Cloud Gaming only recognizes standard gamepads in the browser. xFlightStick fixes that: it translates any USB flight stick, joystick or HOTAS into the Xbox controller xCloud expects, so War Thunder, Microsoft Flight Simulator and every xCloud flight game read your stick natively.
Why isn't my joystick working in Xbox Cloud Gaming?
The xCloud browser player only listens for Xbox-style gamepads, so joysticks and HOTAS are ignored even though your PC sees them fine. xFlightStick bridges the gap — it reads your stick over WebHID and presents xCloud a virtual Xbox controller, making your joystick work in Chrome or Edge with no drivers.
Does xFlightStick work with War Thunder on xCloud?
Yes. xFlightStick makes your HOTAS look like a standard Xbox controller, so War Thunder streamed through Xbox Cloud Gaming picks it up exactly like a gamepad. Pitch, roll, yaw, throttle and all buttons map cleanly.
Which sticks are supported?
Any HID-compatible USB joystick or HOTAS works. Popular models with built-in axis defaults: Thrustmaster T.16000M, Saitek X52 / X52 Pro, Logitech X56, Thrustmaster Warthog, VIRPIL Controls. If it registers as a HID device it's supported — even models not on that list.
Can I map my throttle, rudder and camera axes?
Yes. Every axis is individually assignable. Pitch, roll, yaw, throttle, camera X and camera Y all have separate slots with deadzone, sensitivity curve and invert per axis. You can save multiple named profiles per device.
Does Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Xbox Cloud Gaming support flight sticks?
With xFlightStick, yes. MSFS 2024 streamed through Xbox Cloud Gaming receives your HOTAS as a standard Xbox controller. Assign your stick axes to the Xbox inputs the game expects and fly normally — in the browser, no PC install of the sim needed.
Is this a subscription?
No. One payment of $12 and you have access forever — including every future update.
Do I still need Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?
Yes. xFlightStick only handles input — you still need Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to stream flight games through xCloud.
Can I install it on another computer?
Yes. Your license is tied to your Google account. Install the extension on any device, sign in, and it just works — no keys, no codes.
What if it doesn't work with my setup?
You'll know before you pay — the overlay shows your stick and throttle live in preview mode. If you've paid and the extension genuinely doesn't work with your setup, email support@xflightstick.com and we'll refund you in full. See our Terms for the full refund policy.
