That’s right! We’re thrilled to announce that our latest officially partnered community, brought to you with the support of developer GIANTS Software, is Just About Farming Simulator 25 (or JAFS, if you like).
Farming Simulator is an icon. It’s among the most popular of simulator games, and its beautiful graphics and all-consuming gameplay have won it a massive following, with Farming Simulator 22 having sold over 6m copies. Released yesterday, FS25 is poised to be the biggest and best yet, and we think it’s a perfect fit for Just About. Let’s talk about why!
Escape to the country (without the mud)
This series has always ticked many of the boxes that make for a great fit here on JA. It has heaps of mechanical depth to get stuck into as well as a distinct subculture made of memes, shared references, and inside jokes. Most importantly, the community is large, passionate, friendly, and diverse, with many players looking for surprisingly different things from the game. Relaxing, gentle gameplay is indeed the appeal for many, but the existence of Farming Simulator esports proves that competitive types have a home here too, and that there are many different ways to play. We're excited to explore all of them.
As for the new edition, Farming Simulator 25 packs a graphics and physics overhaul, heaps of new animals and crops, and - if you’ve been intrigued by these games but not taken the plunge - new approachability features that’ll make it the most beginner-friendly entry yet.
There’s plenty for veterans to get stuck into, too. New challenges include a lush East Asian map and terrain-shifting weather hazards like twisters and hail, while fans of all things cute will be delighted to know that buffalo, goats, and baby animals have arrived and are bracing for their conquest of the meme-sphere.
And we’re going to help. ‘Cutest animal clips’ was one of the first reward ideas we had and was a shoo-in to our stacked launch slate:
Recreate and share similar screenshots in Farming Sim 22 vs 25
Share a clip of animals being adorable in Farming Simulator 25
Beginners' tips: things you wish you knew when you started FS
What do people who don't play Farming Sim not get about Farming Sim?
There are many more ideas already scheduled. Expect guides that’ll get you into the deep mechanics of the game, screenshot contests to capture bucolic bliss and crop art, timelapse videos, farming challenges and much more.
Naturally, we’ll have a suggest-a-reward reward too, so our new community can have their say in making their digital homestead even better. Speaking of which, it’s all live now: come on in and take a look around (mind the goat).
