Farming Simulator 25: Everything You Need To Know Before Release
Farming Simulator 25 has been announced – and we are already counting the days before this game is officially released. In this article, we will talk about the announced features and answer some of the most important general questions that any player looking to play this game must have.
Let’s get to it: so you can know everything there is about Farming Simulator 25 before its release.
Is Farming Simulator 25 coming out? Announced features and updates
Farming Simulator has been announced to come out on November 12th, 2024. It’s basically just around the corner! Some of the features of the game have already been officially announced – let’s take a look at them now.
In addition to everything we know and love about the previous game, Farming Simulator 25 will include new crops to grow, such as spinach and rice. Rice is especially interesting – as you will be able to use some rice-specific agricultural techniques, such as flooding the fields.
Rice growing also means that Farming Simulator 25 will dedicate additional focus to a brand new region: in the latest game, you will be able to try yourself out in East Asian maps. European and American maps will still be available. Livestock more suited for Asia will also be available – you will be able to raise buffalo on FS25.
Visual features will also get an update. Ground deformation and dynamic weather effects are coming to FS25, which is bound to offer a more realistic field response to rain and prolonged machinery use. Updated GIANTS Engine 10 will focus heavily on distance fog and enhanced shadows while remaining completely mod-friendly, and keeping the game extremely customizable.
The list of available machinery is also increasing – we can expect several new brands to come to the game. Over 150 brands are confirmed, which is an increase from the last game. Spinach and rice as new crops mean that we will also see plenty of new machinery focused on exactly that.
However, since FS25 will remain completely mod-friendly, the actual list of machinery in the game will stay much larger: thanks to the various mods created by the community.
As for the other features – expect more new crops to be announced. Asia is much more than just rice! There are plenty of popular crops, either exclusive to, or very popular in Asia that will have to be included to make a lifelike Asian farming experience.
There will also be completely new production chains and construction missions, letting you move past regular farming and make your very own farm-to-anything experience.
All in all, we expect Farming Simulator 25 to be yet another gradual improvement over the previous game. However, the improvement in the visuals and a brand-new Asian gameplay experience makes this a must-buy for any hardcore fan, looking to do more than before.
We can’t wait to see what modders do with this game and improve the Farming Simulator 25 experience even further.
Who is developing Farming Simulator 25?
Just like every single Farming Simulator game before, Farming Simulator 25 will be developed by GIANTS Software. While the previous games focused on European and North American locations, the FS25 release will also include East Asian maps, letting you travel around the world – and experience different challenges when building a successful farm.
Who publishes Farming Simulator 25?
GIANTS Software is both a developer and a publisher of Farming Simulator 25. One previous title, Farming Simulator 20, was published by Focus Home Interactive SA, a French company. Now, however, GIANTS Software is responsible for both developing and publishing its star game itself.
What languages will be supported in Farming Simulator 25?
Farming Simulator 25 will be supported in these languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Czech, Dutch, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Turkish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Thai, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.
What is the release date of Farming Simulator 25?
Farming Simulator 25 will be released on November 12, 2024. This continues a trend of GIANTS Software releasing Farming Simulator games once every three years, at the last quarter of the year.
Seriously – just take a look at the release months of all previous FS releases.

FS25 Gameplay and Demo
Farming Simulator 25 demo has still not been released, but from the early data, we can tell that the farming game will follow the same pattern. That means an open farm setting, allowing a player to be either a protagonist or an observer. And the biggest difference will be the highly updated graphics engine.
Will Farming Simulator 25 be available on mobile?
Farming Simulator 25 with all the newly-released features won’t be released on mobile. That’s because Farming Simulator Mobile is its own separate game – with slightly different gameplay and features. Farming Simulator 23 Mobile is the latest FS game, created specifically for mobile devices and Nintendo Switch. In order to play this game, you will need to buy the game separately, on the App Store (for iPhones), or the Google Play Store (for Android devices). This game is also available as a part of Netflix’s mobile game library, so if you have an active subscription, check it out.
As you might expect, the newest Farming Simulator on mobile won’t have quite as many features or mechanics as the desktop version, and there is no in-depth modding functionality that made this series so popular.
Will Farming Simulator 25 be on iPad?
Farming Simulator 25 will not be released on iPad. For iPad users, there is a separate Farming Simulator Mobile game. Despite the iPad’s solid processing and graphics power, there is no way to play Farming Simulator 25 locally on it. However, if you have a Netflix subscription, you will be able to play Farming Simulator on iPad for no extra cost.
Will Farming Simulator 25 be on Nintendo Switch?
Farming Simulator has only been announced on PC, Mac, and Xbox Series S/X consoles. No Nintendo Switch port has been announced, and the first generation Switch will only be able to download and play the stripped-down Farming Simulator 23 Mobile.
However, Switch 2 is coming soon, and there is a chance that Farming Simulator 25 will be optimized and made available on Nintendo Switch 2 (or whatever it will be called!) So far, it’s only speculation and no details have been shared.
Will you be able to play Farming Simulator 25 offline?
We expect Farming Simulator 25 offline experience to be pretty much identical to the previous FS game: that means, if you purchase FS25 through Steam, you will have to have an online connection to launch it. In order to make the best out of the game and use ModHub, you will also need to be connected to the internet. However, online connection shouldn’t be required for your regular everyday farming tasks: as long as you find a way to launch it. Saves should still remain fully local.
Can I play Farming Simulator 25 for free?
No, Farming Simulator 25 will not be available for free, or as a free trial demo. You will need to have a working and approved copy of the game to make the best of it – luckily, the mods, massively improving the base game, will remain completely free. We will collect and offer you the best Farming Simulator 25 mods on this site.
Should you buy Farming Simulator 25?
Farming Simulator 25 is still in progress: and there is no telling how it will look and play as it is released. However, GIANTS Software has a pretty good record in delivering its promises, and the games tend to get better with time.
If you have a solid enough computer to make the best out of updated graphics features or want to try yourself out in brand new Asian farming experiences, you should absolutely buy Farming Simulator 25. The bugs, if any, will get squashed soon after release and a modding community will offer all the fixes and features improvements you could possibly want.
Can you play Farming Simulator 25 online with multiplayer?
Farming Simulator 25 will offer an in-depth online playing experience, letting console and PC players play with their friends. The multiplayer mode is expected to hold at least 16 players at the same time. Together with friends, you will be able to tackle Farming Simulator 25 together, either working in unison or competing to find out who is the best.
Whenever a new player wants to join your farm, a game leader will be able to either let them in or refuse entry. No one can make major changes to your farm or drain funds – making the multiplayer experience safe and enjoyable to all.
Is there a Farming Simulator 25 multiplayer for Xbox?
Yes, there will be a Farming Simulator 25 online multiplayer mode for both PCs and gaming consoles, such as the Xbox.
