Quick reminder (official announcement, November 10, 2026): flight model that switches between drone and jet propulsion, Halo-inspired avionics, full interior with cargo bay, 12 liveries. The exact end time of the free period has not been announced.
Questions for simmers and Halo fans:
- Have you already added the Pelican to your library, and on which platform (PC, Xbox, PS5, PS VR2, cloud)?
- Drone or jet propulsion: which mode do you prefer, and is it actually fun to land on a real-world runway or rooftop?
- If you miss the free week, would $9.99 be a fair price for a fictional aircraft in a realistic sim?
- Do you remember the free Halo Infinite Pelican in 2022? Is this new one different enough for you?
- Which liveries or other sci-fi aircraft would you like to see next?
