Publisher and developer GIANTS Software announces Farming Simulator 26, introducing a new challenge system that gives players tasks and offers rewards in addition to a satisfying sense of progression. Soon available on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, the game invites virtual farmers to take on structured tasks while still enjoying a relaxed, self-paced farming experience.

Rewards & relaxation on two new maps

Players will farm across two new environments, one European and one North-American map. The new challenge system provides optional direction, for example, delivering wheat to a grain mill so the bakery receives flour and can produce cake. Farmers are rewarded for completing weekly or seasonal challenges that encourage them to engage with the broader farming ecosystem.

A wide range of farming

Farming Simulator 26 offers plenty of activities, letting players shape their farm around whatever they prefer: They can spend a calm session in the fields cultivating 15 different crops, head into the woods with heavy forestry equipment, or care for farm animals like cows, sheep, chickens, and goats, including their offspring. New production chains, and the logistics required to keep them running, add another layer of depth.

Real machines from renowned brands

This new installment of the series lets players operate more than 120 realistic tractors, harvesters, field sprayers, and other machines. The lineup features acclaimed global manufacturers, including Case IH, CLAAS, DEUTZ-FAHR, Fendt, John Deere, KRONE, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra, and many more.
With GPS guidance and improved in-game tutorials, Farming Simulator 26 becomes more accessible on mobile devices and Nintendo Switch. It helps newcomers get comfortable quickly, while giving all players the tools to unwind – with or without tackling new challenges.

Farming Simulator 26 will be released on May 19, 2026. Pre-orders for Farming Simulator 26: Nintendo Switch Edition are available at selected retail stores and the Nintendo eShop. The mobile versions for iPhone, iPad, and Android™ devices will be available in the App Store and on Google Play, respectively.
