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.

Farming Simulator 25 released to international acclaim in November and is about to receive its first content extension. Publisher and developer GIANTS Software introduces one of the most advanced agricultural machines to the series: the NEXAT system.

All-in-one machine revolutionizes field operations

NEXAT, an acronym for “Next Generation Agriculture Technology”, is the world's first holistic crop production system. Engineered by the German manufacturer of the same name, the system is based on a strong, versatile carrier vehicle with a remarkably high working width that can handle all arable tasks from tillage, seeding, planting, fertilization, crop protection and harvesting.

Letting real and virtual farmers integrate various interchangeable modules into the wide-span carrier aims to reduce the total number of required machines. That way, the all-in-one machine makes crop production simpler, faster, more efficient, and more sustainable.

Four new brands, 12 new machines

The NEXCO harvesting module and implement modules from leading agricultural brands for spraying, seeding, fertilizing, and more are included next to the carrier vehicle.

The NEXAT Pack includes seven brands and 12 machines to offer a wide range of possibilities and a well- balanced selection. In addition to NEXAT and its state-of-the-art system, Einböck, Geringhoff, and Väderstad are also represented. At the same time, DAMMANN, Evers Agro, and Wienhoff join the Farming Simulator series for the first time.

Farming enthusiasts will want to check out the Farming Simulator 25 Collectors' Edition: The PC-exclusive box includes a USB ignition lock to start the engines of in-game tractors, a 16-bit Mega Drive inspired version plus a soundtrack CD with 15 original tracks from Chris Hülsbeck for retro lovers, and more.

Pre-orders are available now on selected channels and at all major retailers.

Farming Simulator 25 is available for PC, Mac, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
