The beloved farming life simulator is about to become even more immersive. Giants Software has officially announced Farming Simulator VR, a virtual reality experience that plunges players into the heart of agricultural life. This upcoming "brand new" farming adventure will require players to independently manage the sowing and harvesting of crops, tend to vegetables in greenhouses, and maintain their machinery—all to foster the growth and prosperity of their virtual farm.
The announcement has been met with enthusiasm from fans of the series, many of whom see Farming Simulator VR as a potential educational tool. However, one question on everyone's mind remains: What happens if you get in the way of a working combine harvester?
Mark your calendars—Farming Simulator VR is set to launch on February 28 and will be exclusively available on Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro devices.
What can future virtual farmers look forward to? The developers have promised a comprehensive agricultural experience, including:
- A full cycle of farm work, from planting to harvesting, packing, and selling.
- The opportunity to grow tomatoes, eggplants, strawberries, and other crops in greenhouses.
- Official machinery from renowned manufacturers such as Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, and John Deere.
- The ability to repair and maintain machines in your own workshop.
- An added level of realism with the option to pressure wash your farming equipment.
