Farming Simulator 25 System Requirements: Can Your PC or Mac run it?
Farming Simulator 25 is about to be released! The most advanced farming game will be available on November 12th, 2024. Then, millions of existing FS gamers will migrate to this game’s newest and most advanced version. However, one question remains for anyone purchasing and downloading this game: “Can my computer run it?”
In this article, we’ll look at the confirmed Farming Simulator 25 system requirements on PC and Mac and help you understand whether your current rig can handle it. Whether you’re looking for some regular gameplay with minimum settings or looking to use mods, you need to know if your computer is ready before buying the game. Or maybe you would be better off buying some new PC parts first. So check the requirements below:
Farming Simulator 25 PC System Requirements (Minimum)
There is good news for everyone rocking their old potato system or a work-focused laptop more suited for making spreadsheets rather than hardcore gaming. GIANTS Software is committed to making Farming Simulator games available for those with less powerful systems.
Here are the minimum requirements for Farming Simulator 25 on PC:
- Operating system: Windows 10 64bit
- Processor: Intel Core i5-6400, AMD Ryzen 5 1400 or better
- Memory: 8 GB
- Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti, AMD Radeon RX 470 graphics card or better (3GB VRAM minimum)
- DirectX 12
- Storage: 35 GB
- Sound card
Let’s take a deeper look at what the minimum FS25 on PC requirements mean for you:
- Like previously, FS25 will work “just fine” on any medium-range PC from 9 years ago. FS22, released in 2021, worked well on machines from 2012.
- The minimum recommended CPU for FS25 was released in 2015. It’s a low-to-medium-range processor with a starting price of under $200/€200. The GPU was released in 2016 and costs just about the same.
- One important change is the requirement for DirectX 12. FS22 was working on DirectX 11. If your hardware doesn’t support this suite or you don’t have it set up, the game will not work.
- The minimum requirements of FS25 are slightly lower than the recommended requirements of FS22. The jump from CPU requirements is bigger than the GPU requirements. If you could run FS22 comfortably on medium or higher, FS25 should work pretty well. If you already had loading time issues or frame drops of FS22, FS25 would be too big to run.
Farming Simulator 25 System Requirements on PC (Recommended)
Let’s look at the recommended requirements for FS25 – and see what kind of gaming rig you will need to enjoy the latest Farming Simulator game at its best, with high graphics, smooth gameplay, and minimal loading times.
These are the recommended Farming Simulator 25 requirements on PC:
- OS version: Windows 10 64bit
- Processor: Intel Core i7-10700, AMD Ryzen 5 1500X or better
- Memory: 12 GB
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, Intel Arc A750 graphics card or better (8GB VRAM or more)
- DirectX 12
- Storage: 35 GB
- Sound card
Here, you will notice a pretty large jump in the GPU department. You will need mid-range hardware from 2019 onwards to enjoy the best FS25 experience. It makes sense – Farming Simulator 25 heavily relies on customization and mods. You will need a semi-respectable PC to load the game with additional features and not suffer from any performance issues.
However, a suitable PC for Farming Simulator 25 won’t be expensive. We expect that today, a rig capable of running Farming Simulator 25 on medium or high settings would cost around $1,000/€1,000.
Farming Simulator 25 Mac System Requirements (Minimum and Recommended)
An official FS25 Mac system requirements were released to the public. So we can easily estimate what you can expect, and here’s what we think.
- Farming Simulator 22 ran on M1 Pro Macbooks on medium at 60 fps at 1920×1200 resolution, dropping to 40 fps on high. The Farming Simulator games run natively on Metal, making these results as high as possible.
- Given the increased CPU and graphical requirements from the previous version of the game, we believe that you will need an Apple Silicon Macbook to run FS25 properly.
- The M1 Macbook Air, the cheapest Apple Silicon Macbook currently available, should be able to run FS25 on low, while for higher graphics and resolutions, you will need to update to more recent hardware versions.
What else should you consider when choosing a PC or Mac for Farming Simulator 25?
When choosing the right computer for Farming Simulator 25, leaving room for optimization is important. Futureproofing your PC is always a good idea – and a slightly better CPU will be a good idea if you are looking to load plenty of new mods to your FS25 game.
Mods are an integral part of the Farming Simulator, adding many new features, vehicles, maps, and even bug fixes. While many mods have absolutely no effect on your game performance, if you want to get completely new user interfaces or even mess around with cheats, it’s always a good idea to get a computer that lets you play around with the game even more than the developers have planned.
But even then, you don’t need an amazing computer to play FS25 with mods on pretty good settings. Unlike many new games, the Farming Simulator series is very forgiving regarding the required hardware. If your computer is somewhat recent, it can return for the latest title – and let you go on amazing farming adventures!
Remember that Farming Simulator 25 will be released on November 12th, 2024, for PC, Mac, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X.
