Farming Simulator 25 News & Announcements
SKY Agriculture joins the series with a versatile selection of modern agricultural tools. With the SKY Agriculture Pack, available now for Farming Simulator 25, you get 12 implements for seeding, fertilization, and soil cultivation on your farm.
But this pack is not only about adding more machines: improved animations, and realistic dirt accumulation make the equipment from SKY Agriculture feel more authentic when you operate it in the field. Check out the Launch Trailer!
12 Versatile Tools for Your Farm
Prepare, Sow, and Fertilize with SKY Agriculture
You can prepare the soil with the HR 300 and HRW 6000.36 power harrows, or use the Methys HDS for seedbed preparation, stubble cultivation, and cover crop seeding when combined with a front tank.
For sowing, the P100 and the Progress TF front hopper expand your options. The Progress TF can also be fitted with an innovative front packer and two large-diameter wheels. For fertilization, the trailed Falcon T 240 and the mounted X50+ Econov give you additional flexibility.

More Realistic Animations
New Animations Bring Extra Authenticity
The machines in the SKY Agriculture Pack come with enhanced physics and improved animations. Wheels react more visibly to gravity, arms appear heavier while unfolding, and ground tools collect dirt that shakes off again while folding.
These details make the equipment look more realistic, but they also change how it feels in operation. From unfolding implements to working the soil, the machines gain a stronger sense of weight and presence on your farm.
Available Now!
Included in the Year 2 Season Pass
Whether you focus on soil preparation, sowing, fertilization, or a combination of all three, the SKY Agriculture Pack adds practical new tools for your daily fieldwork. It is available now separately via digital channels and included in the Year 2 Season Pass for Farming Simulator 25.

The pager is beeping again: the free Emergency Pack for Farming Simulator 25 is available now for PC and consoles! Created by studio Creative Mesh and published by GIANTS Software, the new pack adds firefighting, rescue services and technical assistance missions to your farm life.
That means your responsibilities now go beyond fields, livestock and production chains. When the local community needs help, you roll out with professional equipment, authentic fire trucks and a steady hand.
Ten Emergencies Across Four Scenarios
Your farm is not the only place that needs attention
The Emergency Pack introduces ten emergency situations across four different scenarios on and around local farmlands. Whenever the pager starts to beep, it is time to leave the routine behind and support your neighbours.
You extinguish burning pallets, containers, bales and fields, remove obstructive materials from roads, secure oil spills and respond to technical rescue situations after car crashes. And yes, some emergencies are truly urgent: cats need saving from trees, too.
Schlingmann Fire Trucks Ready for Action
HLF20 and TLF3000 join your emergency fleet
Two authentically digitized fire trucks from German manufacturer Schlingmann are included in the Emergency Pack: the HLF20 and the TLF3000. Both vehicles are equipped for emergency response and let you fight fires either by hand or directly from the safety of the vehicle.
Specialized tools further expand your rescue operations and help you deal with dangerous materials, obstacles and technical assistance situations. In multiplayer, the fire trucks can seat up to nine firefighters and volunteers, so you can bring reinforcements when the situation calls for it.
Patch 1.20 for Farming Simulator 25 now available for PC and consoles. Find the changelog below.
Please Note! The patch is being rolled out across platforms. It can take some time until the update becomes available on your system. Crossplay services may be affected in the meantime.

The Vredo Pack is now available, and included in the Year 2 Season Pass. 12 state-of-the-art machines by Dutch overseeding specialist Vredo as well as Evers Agro are included, allowing you to overseed grassland and inject slurry. Oh, and beware: boars roam the land, threatening your crops unless distracted. Watch the Launch Trailer below!
List of Machines
- Vredo DZ5 Agri 290
- Vredo DZ5 Agri Air 290
- Vredo DZ5 Agri Twin 580
- Vredo Profi 9
- Vredo Profi 12
- Vredo Profi Eco 6

Restoring Yield by Overseeding
Traditional Dutch manufacturer Vredo allows you to actively fight the degradation of grassland. Use the Vredo Agri Twin 580, Agri 290, and Agri Air 290 (all part of the brand-new DZ5 seeder generation) to overseed grassland and restore it to its original yield potential.
Increasing the Yield with Slurry
Vredo’s slurry injectors do more than just restore; they boost yield and crop quality by improving nutrient uptake in the soil. The Vredo VT7138 high-capacity, three-axle, self-propelled slurry tanker, the Vredo Profi series of injectors and the Evers Agro Toric 48-672 mounted injector will help you to increase efficiency and keep your fields fertilized.
Protecting the Yield From Boars
The Vredo pack also introduces new wildlife, and with it, some side-effects: Wild boar may damage your crops. You'll notice some quite substantial damages to your corn fields or others.
A new contract from the forester will appear, prompting you to put up some distractions, which reduces the damage to local farmlands. You may, however, turn boar off in the game settings.

We've teamed up with another new partner: Vredo! The renowned specialist in overseeding and slurry injection is joining the series alongside the return of Evers Agro with the upcoming release of the Vredo Pack on March 24th. It's included in the Year 2 Season Pass.
You’ll get 12 state-of-the-art machines and the option to overseed your grassland. But that's not all: you’ll also have to watch out for wild boars roaming your land, threatening your crops and keeping you on your toes.
Overseed to Restore the Yield!
With the traditional Dutch manufacturer Vredo, you can actively fight the degradation of your grassland. High-tech machines like the Vredo Agri Twin 580, Agri 290, and Agri Air 290 (all part of the brand-new DZ5 seeder generation) let you overseed grassland and restore it to its original yield potential.
Inject Slurry to Increase the Yield!
Overseeding is only the start: Vredo’s slurry injectors don’t just restore, they boost yield and crop quality by improving how nutrients get into the soil. Machines like the Vredo VT7138 (a high-capacity, three-axle self-propelled slurry tanker), injectors from the Vredo Profi series, and the mounted Evers Agro Toric 48-672 help you increase efficiency and keep your fields well supplied.
Distract Boars to Protect the Yield!
On top of new machinery and yield-improving techniques, the pack also introduces new wildlife. And this means a new threat you’ll need to manage! Alongside existing natural events like twister and hail, wild boars can now cause crop damage. Unless... you distract them, which reduces the impact on your yield.

It's been little over a year, and the official ModHub counts more than 4,500 mods available to download in Farming Simulator 25 since launch. That's a great display of passion and commitment from our modding community and, in short, we just want to say one thing:
THANK YOU!
To put it into perspective, this makes up for 60% of the mods that were released for Farming Simulator 22 in total (and in over three years), underlining how the community is growing. Of course, this doesn't count in all the other mod projects out there, like popular maps every fan has heard of.
No matter how you count and compare, few games see this high amount of user-generated content and dedication from its creator community, especially that soon after launch. With your contribution, Farming Simulator itself is growing, becoming whatever you want it to be.
COMMITTING TO MODS
Farming Simulator and the GIANTS Engine were conceived with mods in mind, and the fact that thousands of mods have been downloaded millions of times worldwide is not only reassuring, but also means that this success is destined to continue - and we're just as committed!
If you want to learn more about how we handle modding and why, check out our past article about our philosophy and learn how we test the mods:
Thanks to the crossplay-functionality, thousands of mods available on PC and consoles. At the same time, we're constantly improving modding tools, documentation, and internal testing workflows shaped by your feedback - all while hands-on testing your contributions through our QA team.
"We are grateful for the continued trust of the modding community and are thrilled to see that almost 90% of mods are now available on all platforms. Mods play a central role in keeping games interesting in the long run. At the same time, modding motivates many to become creative at an early age, develop technical skills, and perhaps even take the first step toward developing their own games."
Marcel Renke, UGC Platform Specialist @ GIANTS Software
WANT MORE MODS?
Of course, new mods are already on their way. In case you want to learn more, check out our Mod Spotlight series on YouTube and social media where we highlight selected mods from time to time. There might be even more formats and opportunities to showcase mods in the future!
In case you want to start modding yourself, you can: visit the GIANTS Developer Network for more information, documentation, tutorials, the option to subscribe to a dedicated newsletter, and more! If your mods are popular, you even get a small financial reward from us - and by choosing to donate, we double the amount.
We released the free Content Update #4 for Farming Simulator 25. Patch 1.15 included! We're adding real powerhouses of machinery from John Deere and Case IH for everyone. And you've been asking for them. Check them out below!
Please Note! The patch is being rolled out across platforms. It can take some time until the update becomes available on your system. Crossplay services may be affected in the meantime.
John Deere’s Most Powerful Tractor
We're introducing the John Deere 9RX Series (710-830). With the 9RX 830 top-configuration, you can operate John Deere’s current top-end articulated four‑track tractor that only rolled onto real fields last year.
Built for very large-scale, high-draft tillage, seeding, and heavy implement work, it combines an 18‑liter Deere engine, high-capacity hydraulics, and a heavy, high-traction chassis - making it the biggest, most powerful tractor in Farming Simulator 25.
Special Edition: Power in Lime Green
With Case IH, another fan-favorite brand spotlights this content update, spearheaded with the Steiger 715-785 Quadtrac Special Edition. Rather than red, the customary Case IH color, this special Quadtrac comes painted in lime green - a nod to the original color of the iconic Steiger brand that has become an integral part of Case IH.
While this agricultural giant adds another machine to the large tractor category, the Patriot 4450 and Vestrum Series are also introduced in the iconic red color of Case IH, providing more compact solutions for a variety of tasks.
Changelog for Patch 1.15
Please Note! As with all major updates, you may experience stuttering on the first game launch after updating. Especially when using mods or custom graphics settings due to shaders being recompiled.

Welcome to Kinlaig!
Where Green Hills Meet the Sea
The scenic fishing town of Kinlaig draws its rugged charm from the windswept landscapes of Scotland. Expect rocky valleys, lush green pastures and expansive skies. Whether you tend the fields and hairy Highland cattle or take to the water to cultivate fish is up to you.
New production chains as well as construction projects keep you on your toes and allow you to make more of your business. There's even a castle to rebuild!
Catching & Breeding Fish
There's a lot to do and explore
Highlands Fishing introduces fishing on two levels: the professional one, obviously, as well as the relaxing kind at the shore, with a rod in hand. Wherever there's (enough) water, you can attempt to catch some fish. Among other things...
When you're ready to expand your farming operation, you might want to get a cargo ship to produce fish feed, and grow salmon and trout on a grand scale

Onions & Highland Cattle
New Root Crop & Hairy Giants
With Highlands Fishing, we also introduce onions. After planting them between March and April, fertilizing and removing those pesky weeds like usual, onions require you to cut off the haulms before you collect them in August or September.
Specialized equipment enables you to cultivate, harvest and process the root crop. New production chains are introduced, enabling you to produce onion salt, soup or fried onions.
20+ New Machines
Including Boats
More than 20 machines are included, and Agri-Spread, Can-Am, GT Bunning, and Monosem join the lineup of brands, supporting both land and water-based work.
👉 Check out the Machine Fact Sheets! 👈
If you want more details, check out our Fact Sheets. We presented a couple of the highlight machinery with their specifications.
New Constructions & Productions
Decorations as well...
New map, new construction projects to keep you busy for seasons: The old castle on the hill lies in ruins, and Kinlaig is missing a windmill. How about you take care of rebuilding them? Not only do they beautify the region, you'll be rewarded as well, and the mill will function as a production point.
There are new selling stations, factories, and other business all over Kinlaig as well. In addition, we added new trees, bushes, fences, and all kinds of decorative objects for you to make you land and the region more charming. During Halloween and Christmas, the town will also be decorated by its inhabitants.

Kinlaig invites you to explore it with its historic architecture, idyllic spots in nature, and new collectibles. Try to find all the bottles with little messages inside. They're collected in a ledger at the town castle, which you should visit anyway.

Build a Castle!
Kinlaig in Need of Restoration
There are two castles in Kinlaig. One is still standing proud at the shore, and the other one... well, it's not standing but lays in ruins. Whatever the history behind that situation is, it seemed that the town castle won the battle. But! You can do something, and help to restore the one on the hill.
As one of the new construction projects, the castle grounds require you to deliver resources, so it may shine at the top of the hill in all its glory once again. It's a bit of a project and takes some time, but when it's done, you're rewarded by being allowed to crown yourself king (or queen) of this fine achievement of architecture.
In case, historic structures to beautify the landscape and increase your prestige level are not your thing, you might want to invest your time and resources into something more productive: the windmill.
Not only does it look nice, it becomes a functioning production point after completion. Meaning, the mill does some actual milling. Deliver your harvested grain to be processed and turned into flour, so it may become your starting point for a production chain.
New Products & Production Chains
Very Fishy...
To build a castle or windmill, you require some resources. Especially wood, but the sawmill is hardly any news, and you might have visited in the past for other construction projects. That's why we added new places and products to the chains of production and construction.
Now, there's also a quarry and a stonemason. Bricks won't do, so heavier stones are needed. And what's a castle without some fancy shingles on the roof, right?
But that's not all. With the new crop, onions, as well as the whole fishing endeavor, there are other new links in a production chain. Most prominently, the fish food factory.
To produce fish food, you need vegetable oil (e.g. sunflower, olive, canola, or rice oil), plus wheat, and soybeans. Out comes the fish food. Learn more about that in our Fishing Preview. There are also a couple new selling stations in town.
New Buildings & Decorations
How nice
Apart from all the machines, tools, factories and production buildings, you get more options to beautify the environment. New buildings can be placed on your land. Want to create a nice, little community within Kinlaig, consisting of natural-looking log cabins and houses? Go ahead!
A variety of decorative objects allows you to customize your backyard. Whether it's a pleasant and tidy, or a more busy one, adjacent to your tool sheds and garage.
New trees, and bushes, and meadow types are also to be found in the construction menu. We know, some of you enjoy placing happy little trees and plants in the vicinity of your farmland - so go for it!
We also placed more ourselves. Kinlaig will be lit with seasonal decoration, like Halloween and Christmas decorations.
