'Farming Simulator 23' Reveals New Game Details, Shows Off Gameplay - Screens & Trailer

With plenty of new features in an open-world setting, Farming Simulator 23 equips you with everything needed to become the genre-leading figurehead for simulation games that can be played everywhere.

Farming Simulator 23 is the successor to the globally acclaimed Farming Simulator 20 released in 2019. Players choose their way of farming, whether it’s agriculture, animal husbandry, or forestry. Different types of machines help with all activities on the farm and beyond: More than 100 authentic vehicles and tools from world-renowned manufacturers such as Case IH, CLAAS, DEUTZ-FAHR, Fendt, John Deere, KRONE, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra & many others are included in the game. 

New gameplay mechanics allow various production chains, whereas players produce flour from their harvested wheat to sell bread – or furniture from wood, or even clothes from sheep wool! Plowing and weeds offer more new activities as additional options to cultivate the fields.

No farm without animals: Farming Simulator 23 newly adds chickens to cows, horses, pigs, and sheep. Whether breeding, collecting eggs, or riding out on a horse, all these cute animals enrich the farm life.   

Grapes, olives, and sorghum are new among the 14 crops to harvest. Players can also take a stroll and search for collectibles or simply enjoy the seasonal visual changes in the landscapes: There is a lot to explore in Amberstone and Neubrunn, the two unique maps, inspired by environments in the USA and Europe. 


The new gameplay footage shows many different features and improvements of the game.

Farming Simulator 23 sets the new benchmark for farming mobile games in the genre-leading, globally successful Farming Simulator brand, invented by publisher and developer GIANTS Software 15 years ago. 

Seeding an Agricultural Empire
More than three years after the predecessor Farming Simulator 20, GIANTS Software fiercely expands the scope, gameplay possibilities, and feature list of its new game in the Switch category. 

At its core, Farming Simulator 23 creates massive opportunities for an agricultural empire with farming, animal husbandry, and forestry. Players have a selection of more than 100 authentically digitised vehicles and tools from renowned manufacturers to seed, grow and harvest 14 different crops. They learn new field mechanics and produce valuable goods: Players expand their businesses and process their harvest into flour and even sell bread at the end to optimize their chosen production chain. 

Two Maps to Grow the Experience
Animal husbandry is another huge playground for Farming Simulator 23. Players tend to cows, horses, pigs, sheep, and the newly added chickens, as introduced in the cutting-edge cinematic trailer. Two varied maps inspired by environments in the USA and Europe invite exploration and different farming approaches, while the game remains entertaining and relaxed – the players always choose what kind of farmer they want to be! 

The improved tutorial mode, AI helper, and the new auto-loading feature for logs and pallets support the players in their farming career.

One way or another, agricultural enthusiasts look forward to an impressive fleet of authentically digitized machines: High-performance tractors like the Case IH Magnum 380 CVXDrive, Landini Serie 7 Robo-Six or Zetor Crystal HD, harvesters like the New Holland Braud 9070L specialized in grapes and olives or planters such as the Lemken Azurit 9 and many more are included in Farming Simulator 23.

In May, it’s time to start farming anywhere you want to let the good times grow!
