Aces Studio was an independent game studio. They were bought by Microsoft and produced many popular titles, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator and Combat Flight Simulator. Due to budget cuts, Aces Studio was closed down in early 2009. Aces Studio has yet to reopen;^[1] reopening is unlikely due to Microsoft using their own company Microsoft Game Studios to develop their games.

In October 2009, members of Aces Studio formed a new game studio called the Cascade Game Foundry for the development of simulation games.^[2]^[3]
