GIANTS Software is pumped to publish the first third-party product after going independent: The Pumps N’ Hoses Pack developed by Creative Mesh is now available for Farming Simulator 22 on PC and consoles. It introduces new gameplay mechanics, brands, and machines. The launch trailer shows the diverse set of gameplay additions in action.
“We pump it up a notch with publishing the first product developed by an external studio”, comments Boris Stefan, Head of Publishing at GIANTS Software. “After successfully publishing and launching Farming Simulator 22 itself, this marks the next big step of our ambitions – engaging with, encouraging, and supporting aspiring developers.”
High-pressure pumps, draggable hoses & more
Pumps N’ Hoses adds umbilical systems for efficient manure distribution to Farming Simulator 22. The pack offers a new way to fertilize fields by allowing virtual farmers to lay down and combine hundreds of meters of draggable hoses with high-pressure pumps.
“We’re thrilled to expand Farming Simulator 22 with features that allowed us to add new and exciting layers of gameplay” comments Creative Mesh’s CEO Frederic Leifeling. “Working with GIANTS Software directly proved to be efficient and expedient to realize our most ambitious project to date.”
Manure separation and configurable biogas plants expand the gameplay even further – meaning more options for manure application and biogas plants customized to the individual farmer’s needs. Over 30 new, authentic machines, tools and other items from industry-leading manufacturers such as Schouten are represented. With Stallkamp, BvL and 2G Energy making their debut in the game, the number of brands in Farming Simulator 22 rises above 150 in total.
Farming Simulator 22 and the Pumps N’ Hoses Pack are separately available for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 (PS5™), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Stadia. With the Platinum Edition and the Platinum Expansion, GIANTS Software extends the game with a multitude of new content on November 15th while also continuing 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.
The fifth content update is now available for Farming Simulator 22: Just unveiled before the eyes of the world, the brand-new Valtra Q Series is already added to the game, free of charge. With patch 1.7.1, including the free content update, publisher and developer GIANTS Software add a variety of Valtra tractors to Farming Simulator 22.
Four New Tractors Extend the Vehicle Fleet
The world debut of the Valtra Q Series happened just days ago – now, virtual farmers are among the first to operate the modern tractor.

Fans can inspect every angle, and take photos and videos of the tractor projected into the real world through the lens of their mobile device.
While machine enthusiasts focus on the Q Series, the free content update also includes the long-awaited fifth-generation models of Valtra A, N and T Series. All four authentically digitized additions to Farming Simulator 22 are presented with a video trailer.

Major new brand extends the already massive vehicle fleet: Developer and publisher GIANTS Software releases the Farming Simulator 22: Vermeer Pack today. Five efficient and unique machines from the North American manufacturer are included. A launch trailer with a historical touch shows off the new machines and tools.
Introducing World’s First Self-propelled Baler
From the inventors of the round baler comes a set of powerful and innovative machines for Farming Simulator 22. With the ZR5-1200 self-propelled baler by Vermeer, the first of its kind, virtual farmers produce bales as fast as possible, with great comfort and maneuverability – but without the necessity of a tractor. Zero-turn capability and high transport speed save a lot of time on and in between fields.
A trailed mower, a twin rake, as well as a high-duty baler and a straw blower are also included in the Vermeer pack to round off the selection of sturdy machinery to make grassland operation more efficient
Brands Increase Authenticity
“The addition of Vermeer to our extensive list of manufacturers is another great milestone for us” comments Thomas Frey, Vice President of Business Development at GIANTS Software. “The integration of more than 100 authentic digitized brands adds a layer of reality to our Farming Simulator universe, and I’m proud to see such an innovative manufacturer as Vermeer join the long list of renowned agricultural manufactures.”
