'Farming Simulator 22' Shows Off NVIDIA DLSS Improvements, Reveals Erlengrat Map - Screens & Trailer

Cultivated to be bigger and better, Farming Simulator 22 will offer more depth thanks to a variety of new additions and therefore the highest extent of player freedom in the history of the series.

Once again, the family-friendly game series takes a leap forward. With new features and improvements, Farming Simulator 22 will allow every aspiring farmer to creatively build their farm no matter the age or real - life profession. Either on their own, or cooperatively in multiplayer for up to 8 players on consoles and 16 on PC, Mac and Stadia.

New crops, new maps, new machines, and new brands are just the beginning of what players can expect. And on top of that, it is getting snowy, too - players should prepare for the exciting addition of seasonal cycles – as well as other features to be announced soon!

Two new maps plus an updated alpine Erlengrat map will put emphasis on different kinds of farming operations through the seasons.

With a set of more than 400 machines and tools from more than 100 authentic agricultural brands including new categories, players can look forward to an improved and realistic-as-ever simulation. But even for new players, it will be easy to dive into agriculture, animal husbandry (including cuter animals) and forestry.

Better quality and performance on RTX cards

Thanks to DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), Farming Simulator 22 will be sharper and smoother on systems running with graphics cards of the GeForce RTX series – boosting resolution, image quality and frame rate.

The already popular DLSS-option allows players to output Farming Simulator 22 in 4K, for example, while it is only rendered at 1080p resolution. DLSS uses AI to boost frame rates and generate beautiful, sharp images for your games. The result: higher frame rates without a noticeable loss in image quality compared to native 4K!

The more recent DLAA technique is an AI-based anti-aliasing mode for users who have spare GPU headroom and want higher levels of image quality. It uses the same technology powering NVIDIA DLSS, giving you even better graphics in your games.

Atmospheric invitation to Erlengrat

With DLSS enabled, farmers can enjoy the sight of Erlengrat, where the snowflakes fall particularly smoothly due to the performance boost. A new map trailer invites all players to the mountainous landscape inspired by the European Alpine regions. After Elmcreek, set in the US-Midwest, and Haut-Beyleron, inspired by Southern France, farmers can now get a sneak peak of all three available maps in the game.


Based on the GIANTS Engine 9, Farming Simulator 22 features many technical improvements such as more realistic AI behavior and richer worlds. Thanks to those worlds, players will be drawn even deeper into the virtual farming lifestyle. For example, motor sounds of their tractors appear even more realistic through acoustic gear selection and graduated reverberation.

Better performance on all platforms: with DirectX 12 support on Windows, texture streaming, multi- threading optimization, occlusion culling and temporal anti-aliasing amidst other optimizations, the newest Farming Simulator will receive a performance boost on all systems laying the foundation for even more complex mod customization to enjoy more content.

Farming Simulator 22 will come to PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Mac and Stadia on November 22, 2021.
