“Farming Simulator has established itself as the ultimate farming simulation title. Having John Deere in the game’s roster is just natural. With John Deere, farming fans will finally have the opportunity to play with a brand they’ve long waited for, while newcomers will be able to drive and use fantastic vehicles and tools that will enrich their gameplay experience.”

– Thomas Frey, creative director at GIANTS Software

For GIANTS Software, the development studio behind the series, Farming Simulator is its biggest selling video game. As the name suggests, the game simulates farming, allowing players to farm and breed livestock in settings reminiscent of landscapes in the U.S. and Europe. The object of the game is to farm profitably and then invest profits in more equipment, livestock, and land. Farming Simulator includes elements of economics, trade, weather, and other variables so that just as in real-world farming, good decisions are rewarded, bad decisions are punished, and sometimes pure luck can turn good decisions into bad ones and vice versa.

Much of the anticipation for Farming Simulator 19 is generated by just one thing: For the first time in the 10 years since the game launched, John Deere has granted permission to include its equipment.
