FarmCon 23, the community event around the Farming Simulator by Giants Software, was a complete success. This year's edition set a new record for attendance. 1,300 visitors were present in the Deutz-Fahr Arena in Lauingen, Germany.

Giants Software is pleased to announce a new record attendance at FarmCon, the community event for Farming Simulator. A total of 1,300 visitors met on 1 and 2 July at the Deutz-Fahr Arena in Lauingen for this year's edition of the event. Since 2016, the company has organized annual community meetings where fans and modders meet the minds behind the simulation series.

Boris Stefan, Head of Publishing at Giants Software, comments: "With 1,300 guests, FarmCon 23 reached a record attendance! And more importantly - the visitor response was outstanding! We would like to thank Deutz-Fahr and all our guests - and we are already looking forward to the next event!"

At FarmCon 23, the company founders also shed light on the rapid development of the series since 2008. CEO Christian Ammann and CTO Stefan Geiger spoke about 15 years of "Farming Simulator" and how the brand is marketed internationally. Other presentations unveiled the Horsch AgroVation Pack and covered the topic of modding.

Giants Software also revealed plans for the further expansion of the brand, including the Premium Edition and the Premium Expansion. The Premium Expansion, also available separately, is part of the edition and introduces a new map: Zielonka - an environment in Central Europe suitable for vegetable farming. The expansion adds carrots, parsnips and beetroot to the list of 20 crops in total, as well as new factories and production chains. In addition, over 35 authentically digitized vehicles and implements expand the fleet. Manufacturers Dewulf, Gorenc, Agrio and Wifo make their debut in the series. Also included are new machines from Bednar, Fiat, Grimme, Kverneland, Samasz and other brands. Premium Edition and Premium Expansion will be available for PC and consoles from 14 November 2023 - as a retail box and digitally.
