•Vredo debuts in the Farming Simulator Series•Gameplay focuses on restoring, increasing & protecting yield•Pack adds 12 machines, 2 brands & wild boars•Out now, Launch Trailer available
Publisher and developer GIANTS Software expands its lineup of virtual farming technology with a new partnership: Vredo, the renowned specialist in overseeding and slurry injection, is now part of Farming Simulator 25, alongside the return of Evers Agro. The Vredo Pack includes 12 state-of-the-art machines, and introduces wild boar roaming the land, keeping farmers on their toes.
Overseeding to Restore Grassland
Traditional Dutch manufacturer Vredo enables virtual farmers to fight the degradation of grassland and restore fields and their yield potential. High-tech machines like the Vredo Agri Twin 580, Agri 290, and Agri Air 290, all part of the new DZ5 seeder generation, allow players to overseed.
Slurry Injection for Higher Yield
Vredo’s slurry injectors do not just restore yield, they increase yield and crop quality by improving soil nutrition and efficiency. Machines like the Vredo VT7138, a high-capacity, three-axle, self-propelled slurry tanker, injectors from the Vredo Profi series, and the mounted Evers Agro Toric 48-672 help farmers take fertilization strategies to the next level.
Protecting Fields from Boar Damage
Alongside new machinery and yield-improvement techniques, the Vredo Pack introduces a new threat farmers need to watch out for: In addition to existing natural events like twisters and hail, wild boar can cause crop damage unless they are distracted. Managing this risk reduces yield impact and adds another layer of responsibility in protecting the harvest.
Farming Simulator 25 is available for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Vredo Pack was released separately today on digital channels. A Year 2 Season Pass is available and includes the Vredo Pack, a bonus tractor, and additional content to be released in 2026 – fans save up to 30% compared to getting the content separately. GIANTS Software will also continue to release free content updates and user-generated content on the official ModHub. Visit the official Farming Simulator website and the GIANTS Software press area for more information.
Publisher and developer GIANTS Software released Free Content Update #5 for Farming Simulator 25, including Patch 1.17. Alongside a set of improvements across gameplay and performance, the update expands the vehicle lineup with two new machines.
New Machines: Kramer Telehandler & Berthoud WIN'AIR
The update introduces a new Kramer telehandler and the Berthoud WIN'AIR, a compact trailed sprayer designed for use in vineyards and orchards, focusing on productivity and precise application in viticulture.
Improvements for Precision Farmers & Modders
Among numerous improvements, Patch 1.17 adds additional content and options for modders, including new tires, new configuration attributes, and multiple fixes. The free Precision Farming Pack for deeper agricultural mechanics also receives improvements, including adjustments to pH display and reduction behavior, tramline stability, and optimizations for various UI actions.
GIANTS Software is gearing up for FarmCon 26: The publisher and developer of the family-friendly series has announced that the community event will take place on the weekend of 1st & 2nd August at Volvo Construction Equipment in Konz, Germany. This year, the annual convention not only celebrates the ever-growing community, but its 10th anniversary.
Meeting Devs, Driving Excavator
Fans, modders and content creators can meet the team and creative minds behind Farming Simulator and are invited to attend a variety of stage presentations. As has been the tradition since the first FarmCon in 2016, visitors have the opportunity to find out more about current and future Farming Simulator projects and speak to the team directly during Q&A sessions.
Taking place at Volvo Construction Equipment in Konz, visitors can look forward to even more entertainment and hands-on activities off the stage: join factory tours for a behind-the-scenes look into Volvo CE’s production halls, then step outside into the sandbox to test drive the future, including electric construction machines. Excavators and wheel loaders will be available for test drive, while younger fans can hop into kid-sized Volvo machines. And of course, real machines will be standing by as a state-of-the-art backdrop for selfies.
Tickets Now Available!
“We’re excited to host FarmCon 26 together with Volvo, one of the world’s most respected names in construction and transportation – and a fan-favorite brand in Farming Simulator,” says Christian Ammann, CEO of GIANTS Software. “Our shared passion for high-tech machines, both real and virtual, drives us to deliver a spectacular event as we celebrate FarmCon's tenth anniversary. See you at FarmCon 26!”
Every FarmCon 26 ticket includes a coupon that can be redeemed for a goodie bag filled with popular merchandise. More information about the program, schedule, and activities of the annual community event, organized by GIANTS Software, will be announced closer to the event. Visit the official Farming Simulator website and the GIANTS Software press area for more information.

Publisher and developer GIANTS Software has formed another partnership: Vredo, a renowned specialist in overseeding and slurry injection, is joining the series, alongside the return of Evers Agro. The pack includes 12 state-of-the-art machines, and wild boars start to roam the land, threatening the health of crops and keeping farmers on their toes.
Overseeding, Restoring Yield
Traditional Dutch manufacturer Vredo enables virtual farmers to combat the degradation of grassland. High-tech machines such as the Vredo Agri Twin 580, Agri 290 and Agri Air 290, which are part of the brand new DZ5 seeder generation, enable the overseeding of grassland to restore its original yield potential
Injecting Slurry, Increasing Yield
Overseeding is only the beginning, as Vredos slurry injectors do not restore, but increase the yield and crop quality. The Vredo VT7138, a high-capacity, three-axle self-propelled slurry tanker, injectors of the Vredo Profi series, or the mounted Evers Agro Toric 48-672 boost soil nutrition and efficiency.
Distracting Boars, Protecting Yield
In addition to new machinery and yield-improvement techniques, the Pack introduces new wildlife, creating a new threat that farmers must be aware of. In addition to the existing natural events, hurricanes and hail, the arrival of wild boar may also cause crop damage – unless they are distracted, which reduces the impact on the yield.
Farming Simulator 25 is available for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Vredo Pack will be released on March 24th and is available for pre-orders at selected channels. A Year 2 Season Pass is obtainable and includes the Vredo Pack, a bonus tractor as well as more content to be released in 2026 – fans save up to 30% compared to getting the content separately.
