Talking the audience through the finer details, modders had a chance to get a good look at what modifications they will need to make and what to expect from the updated GIANTS Editor and tools.

    There Was Much More

    FarmCon would not be the exciting event it is without the help of our partners and the “supporting cast.” Rounding off the experience, Fendt had organized a company tour and a tractor driving course, while a number of food trucks took care of our visitors’ well-being.

    All in all, the event was a fantastic success. The feedback from our guests was exceptionally positive, and everyone is already looking forward to next year’s event.

  • GIANTS Software Publishes First Third-Party-Add-On “Pumps N’ Hoses” For Farming Simulator 22

    September 27th, 2022
    GIANTS Software reaches another milestone in its self-publishing venture after going independent: The Pumps N’ Hoses Pack is now available for Farming Simulator 22 on PC and consoles. The add-on for the million-selling agricultural simulation was developed by Creative Mesh, with GIANTS Software taking care of publishing in cooperation with distributors to bring it to retailers in selected regions.

    “We pump it up a notch with publishing the first product developed by an external studio”, comments Boris Stefan, Head of Publishing at GIANTS Software. “After successfully publishing and launching Farming Simulator 22 itself, this marks the next big step of our ambitions - engaging with, encouraging, and supporting aspiring developers.”

    Introducing more industry-leading brands

    Over 30 new, authentic machines, tools and other items from industry-leading manufacturers such as Schouten are represented. With Stallkamp, BvL and 2G Energy making their debut in the game, the number of brands in Farming Simulator 22 rises above 150 in total.

    “We’re thrilled to expand Farming Simulator 22 with features that allow us to add new and exciting layers of gameplay” comments Creative Mesh’s CEO Frederic Leifeling. “Working with GIANTS Software directly proved to be efficient and expedient to realize our most ambitious project to date.”

    New gameplay mechanics focus on manure & biogas

    Pumps N’ Hoses introduces new gameplay mechanics, brands, and machines to Farming Simulator 22. In the launch trailer, Creative Mesh and GIANTS Software show off the diverse set of additions in action.

    Umbilical systems offer a new way to fertilize fields by allowing virtual farmers to lay down and combine hundreds of meters of draggable hoses with high-pressure pumps. Manure separation and configurable biogas plants expand the gameplay even further - meaning more options for manure application and biogas plants customized to the individual farmer’s needs.

Developer and publisher GIANTS Software introduces the most extensive agricultural simulation to date, including a multitude of new features. From production chains forming agricultural empires, to crossplay multiplayer. The accompanying Launch Trailer tells the emotional story of an aspiring new farmer.

    Farms are growing bigger - just like the series

    Farming Simulator 22 enhances the farming experience on every level: Seasonal farming adds (snowy) challenges, production chains more depth, new ground working mechanics more agricultural diversity, and an improved sound design more immersion.

    A brand-new build mode and character creation tool promote creativity and player freedom on three distinct maps, inspired by southern France, the US-Midwest and the European Alpine region. All types of farmers will find the perfect landscape to build their farm and dive into agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry. It is their choice whether they focus on the large variety of crops or tend to cows, sheep, chicken, pigs, and horses - even bees. Thanks to cross-platform multiplayer, it’s also easier than ever to cooperate.

    With over 400 authentically digitized vehicles and tools from brands like Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra and many more, the fleet of agricultural machinery grows, too. New machine categories allow farmers to create lush vineyards and olive orchards. Grapes, olives and sorghum are added to the range of crops.

    Cultivated, fertilized, and now self-published

    Christian Ammann, CEO of GIANTS Software, proudly comments: “It’s an amazing accomplishment that marks a striking milestone on multiple layers of the company’s history: Farming Simulator 22 is our first and globally self-published title, it’s the most extensive entry of the series to date, and it’s the result of our huge ambitions that will nourish our plans to realize even more potential in the future. It’s not just a milestone, it’s a stepping stone, as well.”

    GIANTS Software also improved the foundation: On the technical side, the new GIANTS Engine 9 features DirectX 12, NVIDIA DLSS support, texture streaming and a lot more to optimize graphics and performance on all platforms. The official mod support, for PC and consoles, is also guaranteed.

  • Farming Simulator 22: Cinematic Trailer, Release Date, New Crops and More Revealed

    June 22nd, 2021
    Let the good times grow! And new crops, too – developer and publisher GIANTS Software have revealed grapes and two more crops in addition to the release date, regional pack shots and an atmospheric Cinematic Trailer showcasing the next generation of farmers in action. Farming Simulator 22 will release on November 22nd for PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Stadia.

    Ready to harvest: grapes, olives and sorghum

    Virtual farmers can now plant and harvest grapes to produce delicious juice and olives to produce high-quality olive oil – thanks to the new production chains feature. Sorghum, a new type of grain, has been added to the range of arable crops. With the new crops, comes the need for new types of machines. The New Holland Braud 9070L grape harvester is one of the new additions to the fleet of new machines in Farming Simulator 22.

    Inspiring CGI trailer shows family business

    As new generations of farmers follow in the footsteps of previous generations in real-life or through playing Farming Simulator, the cinematic trailer shows a father and daughter working the field together, battling the snow, and enjoying the rewarding victory of harvested grapes. The emotional story also reveals Mack Trucks as a new in-game brand, and shows the iconic Super-Liner in action. Self-published Farming Simulator 22 will be more widely available in more regions and to more players than ever before, inviting new generations to learn about agriculture, letting crops and the good times grow together in multiplayer.

    Farming Simulator 22 now available for pre-order

    “Here we go, starting the pre-order on our very first self-published title”, comments GIANTS Software CEO Christian Ammann proudly. “We hope fans are as excited about this milestone in the series’ history as we are and enjoy our trailer as we get ready to welcome old and new farmers to our fields.”

    All pre-orders of Farming Simulator 22 receive the CLAAS XERION SADDLE TRAC Pack including the CLAAS XERION 4200 SADDLE TRAC plus four more machines by KAWECO. Depending on the region, the cover depicts a Case IH AFS Connect Magnum, Fendt 900 Vario, Massey Ferguson MF 8S or Zetor Crystal. A limited Collector’s Edition with a dual tire setup of the Case IH tractor will be available for PC and includes a beacon light responding to the machines in-game.

    More details about Farming Simulator 22 will be presented at FarmCon (July 21st-23rd). Visit the official Farming Simulator website and the GIANTS Software press area for more info!

  • Announcing Farming Simulator 22 - Publisher GIANTS Software lets the good times grow!

    April 22nd, 2021
    Cultivated to be bigger and better – the ultimate and multimillion-selling farming simulation returns this year! Farming Simulator 22 will come to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Mac and Stadia in Q4 2021. The game will not only be developed by GIANTS Software – but published, too. The international, Swiss-based company is raising the quality by full self-determination.

    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’s getting snowy, too: Players should prepare for the exciting addition of seasonal cycles – as well as other features to be announced soon! A CGI reveal teaser trailer offers a small glimpse of the new game to come.

    Pushing snow - and the depths of simulated farming!

    Farming Simulator 22 will offer more depth thanks to a variety of new additions and therefore the highest extent of player freedom in the history of the series. 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.

    “We are further growing with our games”, comments GIANTS Software CEO Christian Ammann, “and the upcoming result of our cultivated ambitions will be a milestone in the series’ history as well as our company, which developed into a self-determined publisher in full control of its product.”

    Creating even more immersive farming worlds

    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.
