Virtual farmers manage their agricultural empires in a new, lush East Asian landscape filled with rice paddies, a North American environment with plenty of open space, or a Central European location with green fields between ponds and rivers.

Building their legacy single-handedly or cooperatively in multiplayer, they can now grow two types of rice, spinach, and other new crops – choosing from well over 20 overall. Buffalos and other animals join the livestock pens, while new production chains and constructions extend business opportunities. More features and details will be revealed soon.

Machine enthusiasts enjoy an ensemble of over 400 authentic vehicles, tools & items from more than 150 international top brands. Among them: Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra, and many others. With Asian farming, new types of specialized machines get introduced.

All farmers feel a deeper connection to fields and nature thanks to a general tech upgrade with improved graphics and physics based on the latest and modding-friendly GIANTS Engine 10: Distance fog, enhanced shadows, dynamic weather effects, ground deformation and more boost the immersion of a romantic farming life.

Virtual farms are thriving as publisher and developer GIANTS Software reports the most successful launch in the history of the series with Farming Simulator 25.

Compared to its already high-performing predecessor in 2021, Farming Simulator 25 saw a significant increase in its first week of release: With two million copies sold worldwide, it surpassed the previous record of 1.5 million copies of Farming Simulator 22 in the same period by more than 30%.

On launch day, Farming Simulator 25 outperformed other new releases on Steam's "Top Sellers" chart, with more than 125,000 virtual farmers playing simultaneously, tilling fields solo or cooperatively in multiplayer. That number jumped to 135,000 on the first weekend. Not included are players who were not playing at the same time during the day and on other platforms.

“When our ambitious self-publishing journey started with Farming Simulator 22, we were already overjoyed by the resonance of our unique, engaged, and passionate community,” Boris Stefan, Head of Publishing at GIANTS Software, comments.

"Farming Simulator 25 marks our most successful launch yet and proves that our bond with the community has grown even stronger. Their enthusiasm and support is not only at the heart of our success, but a driving force behind our continued commitment to delivering an unparalleled and satisfying farming experience. The launch was just the start for FS25.” Including the other main games of the series, GIANTS Software also reports more than 40 million copies of Farming Simulator sold worldwide
