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 Simulator 25 is available now for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. A Year 1 Season Pass is obtainable, which includes the NEXAT Pack, two more packs and a major expansion – fans save up to 25% 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.

This is hands-on virtual farming: Farming Simulator VR is coming soon to Meta Quest. The standalone game will launch on February 28th and is available for pre-order today. Publisher and developer GIANTS Software shares an outlook with the Announcement Trailer.
Hands-on the wheel, eyes on the soil
Strapped into one of Meta's virtual reality headsets, farmers cultivate their fields with profitable crops like corn, wheat & soybean. Of course, they operate authentic agricultural machinery from renowned manufacturers such as Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere & others - directly from the detailed cabins of these powerful agricultural vehicles.
Looking at details, with an impact wrench in hand
Virtual farmers will not only hang out in the cab of their tractor or harvester, they will also get up close and personal with the machines during maintenance: Equipped with an electric impact wrench, they must regularly maintain their machines in the workshop, replace parts, and keep them squeaky-clean through the pleasure of power-washing them in the yard.
Grabbing vegetables in the greenhouse
In addition to farming in the fields, players can also grow various crops in greenhouses. Tomatoes, eggplant, strawberries, and other crops can be picked by hand and placed in crates to be sold.
Farming Simulator VR will be available on Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 3S, and Meta Quest Pro on February 28th, pre-orders start later today. Visit the official Farming Simulator website and the GIANTS Software press area for more information.

Farming Simulator 25 Now Available – Launch-Trailer Invites Everyone to the Farm
“When we think of our farms, we think of lives well spent”, a seasoned farmer tells viewers in the Launch Trailer of Farming Simulator 25. Now available on PC and consoles, publisher and developer GIANTS Software invites returning and aspiring virtual agriculturists to ignite their passion for the wholesome and rewarding life in the countryside.
“This Farm is Your Farm”
“For experienced farmers, the game marks the next step in playfully living their passion”, says Christian Ammann, CEO of GIANTS Software. “For everyone else, it’s a relaxing, immersive, and community-oriented opportunity to grow a new hobby, cultivate exciting knowledge, and ultimately harvest the rewarding feeling of freedom and accomplishment.”
Easy First Steps on Fields
With more variety, opportunities, and challenges, Farming Simulator 25 allows players to experiment, learn and grow. Increased accessibility through improved user interfaces, information, and tutoring non-player characters make the family-friendly series even more welcoming for beginners. The new GPS-based steering assistant as well as reworked and improved AI-workers allow additional help and automation on busy fields.
Farming Means Business
Whether focusing on arable farming, animal husbandry, or forestry, the dream of farming can be achieved with a small farm and a few lovely farm shops to sell goods, or by growing it into an empire: With production chains, factories, construction projects, and even community monuments like temple grounds or a grain elevator museum, providing long-term goals and endless activities for the farmer's ambitions.
With three environments in North America, Europe, and East Asia, 25 field crops, plus many greenhouse crops and trees, and several types of animals, each farmer can choose their starting point – single-handedly or in co-op multiplayer. Machine enthusiasts enjoy over 400 authentic machines from over 150 international top brands like Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, and Valtra. Other new features include ground deformation, weather events, and general improvements of graphics and physics.
Since 2008, over 30 million units of Farming Simulator have been sold worldwide. The game series has been released on all popular platforms including consoles, mobile phones, tablets and PCs since then. From the start, the team enabled users to create mods with the company’s own GIANTS Engine. With the Farming Simulator League (FSL), the series introduced a competitive esports mode in 2019 – with teams competing in professional tournaments and many acclaimed brands and sponsors on board.

400+ Agricultural Machines in Total
Packed with horsepower and authenticity, Farming Simulator 25 features more than 400 machines & items from over 150 top international brands. The roaring Garage Trailer highlights a high-powered selection like the John Deere S700 Series combine harvester with up to 625 hp, or the Case IH Steiger 715 Quadtrac with the power of 778 horses under the bright red hood.
With a focus on details, the close-ups in the trailer emphasize the realistic digitization of machines. Starting November 12th, agriculturists choose from their favorite brands like Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra, and many more.
Hand Tools & Consumables
Branded items are not limited to the garage, but can also be found in new tool sheds: Hand tools, such as chainsaws of various brands, become standalone items that can be stored and shared with other players in co-op multiplayer. Farmers will also need to stock up on bale wrapping supplies, as they will run out. Stretch film or net wraps are also available from brands such as Rani Plast, John Deere, or Fendt, even in different colors.
New Products & Production Chains
In addition to operating tractors, combines, and various tools on the fields, virtual farmers can decide to make more of their harvested crops. New production chains and products become available, adding more variety to the logistics aspect of Farming Simulator 25.
A new cement factory opens its doors as large construction projects require cement. On a smaller scale, farmer’s markets require a variety of produce – a lot of which is grown in greenhouses, like spring onions, garlic, or chili. Only if vendors are supplied, a lot of the shops in Hutan Pantai will open to sell all the goods that players deliver.
Farming Simulator 25 will be released on November 12th for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders are available now on selected channels. Visit the official Farming Simulator website and the GIANTS Software press area for more information.
