Farming Simulator 25 Celebrates 5 Million Copies Sold - Play at gamescom
Since launch on November 12th, 2024, Farming Simulator 25 has sold 5 million copies worldwide. Publisher and developer GIANTS Software announces it has reached this milestone just ahead of the world’s largest consumer video game expo, gamescom. Visitors can celebrate with the makers of Farming Simulator by enjoying interactive stage shows and a hands-on premiere.
“Wow! It’s remarkable to see so many new farmers joining our community”, says Boris Stefan, CSO and Head of Publishing at GIANTS Software. “We’re incredibly proud of how quickly it continues to grow, and grateful for the enthusiasm from our fans and newfound farmers. Beans & Alpacas is already falling on fertile ground, and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone cultivate the red soils of South America when the expansion arrives.”
Announced: Bananas are Coming with Beans & Alpacas
With bananas, Farming Simulator 25 introduces a brand-new dedicated cultivation system: Virtual farmers take care of banana plantations after creating the layout, including setting up a railing system, defining rail counts and directions, and placing the washing stations for processing.
Adding new gameplay depth, Beans & Alpacas also introduces fungicides, which require farmers to spray bananas with fungicides when plant disease occurs. Bananas can be harvested manually with a machete, then hung on the rails to be washed and processed into pallets. Harvesting can be automated by hired workers. On Catuaí, the new map coming with Beans & Alpacas allows bananas to be planted and harvested year-round.
