Once again, the family-friendly game series takes a leap forward. With new features and improvements, Farming Simulator 22 will allow every aspiring farmer to creatively build their farm no matter the age or real - life profession. Either on their own, or cooperatively in multiplayer for up to 8 players on consoles and 16 on PC, Mac and Stadia.

New crops, new maps, new machines, and new brands are just the beginning of what players can expect. And on top of that, it is getting snowy, too - players should prepare for the exciting addition of seasonal cycles – as well as other features to be announced soon!

Two new maps plus an updated alpine Erlengrat map will put emphasis on different kinds of farming operations through the seasons.

With a set of more than 400 machines and tools from more than 100 authentic agricultural brands including new categories, players can look forward to an improved and realistic-as-ever simulation. But even for new players, it will be easy to dive into agriculture, animal husbandry (including cuter animals) and forestry.

GIANTS Software publishes its first third-party product with Farming Simulator 22: Pumps N’ Hoses Pack and will present the upcoming game add-on at this year’s gamescom in Cologne in hall 7 at booth number B41.

The game expansion is made by Creative Mesh, an acclaimed modding team that grew into an ambitious development studio. Farming Simulator 22: Pumps N’ Hoses Pack will be available on September 27th for PC and consoles. A few weeks early, gamescom visitors can play around with the new content, which introduces new ways to fertilize fields. 

Allowing virtual farmers to lay and combine hundreds of meters of draggable hoses on their soil, Pumps N’ Hoses introduces so-called umbilical systems for efficient manure distribution. Manure separation and configurable biogas plants extend the gameplay even further. Over 30 new machines, tools, and other items from industry-leading manufacturers are included. 

Each day at 1 pm and 5 pm, publisher and developer GIANTS Software entertains gamers at gamescom with informative stage presentations about Pumps N’ Hoses and other upcoming content for Farming Simulator 22. 

At 11 am and 3 pm, the stage is set for the Platinum Edition: Coming November 15th for PC and consoles, the expansion adds more than 40 new vehicles and tools and includes the new map “Silverrun Forest” as well as new gameplay mechanics.

The fourth free content update is now available to download on PC and consoles.

It's part of patch version 1.7 and adds new vehicles and tools. With the CLAAS XERION 5000 Anniversary Edition and the CLAAS LINER 4900 Business, two more machines by the industry-leading German manufacturer are introduced to Farming Simulator 22.

Based on the GIANTS Engine 9, Farming Simulator 22 features many technical improvements such as more realistic AI behavior and richer worlds. Thanks to those worlds, players will be drawn even deeper into the virtual farming lifestyle. For example, motor sounds of their tractors appear even more realistic through acoustic gear selection and graduated reverberation.

Better performance on all platforms: with DirectX 12 support on Windows, texture streaming, multi- threading optimization, occlusion culling and temporal anti-aliasing amidst other optimizations, the newest Farming Simulator will receive a performance boost on all systems laying the foundation for even more complex mod customization to enjoy more content.

Farming Simulator 22 is available for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Mac and Stadia.
