Giants Software has announced the most successful launch in the history of the Farming Simulator series with Farming Simulator 25. The farming simulation sold two million copies worldwide in its first week.

Compared to its already strong predecessor in 2021, Farming Simulator 25 saw an increase in its first week of release. With two million copies sold worldwide, it surpassed the previous record of 1.5 million copies (Farming Simulator 22). On launch day, Farming Simulator 25 outsold other new releases on Steam's "Top Sellers" chart with more than 125,000 CCUs. That number jumped to 135,000 in the first weekend, this does not include players who played at different times during the day and on different platforms.

"When our ambitious self-publishing journey started with Farming Simulator 22, we were already overjoyed by the resonance of our unique, engaged, and passionate community," Boris Stefan, Head of Publishing at Giants Software, comments. "Farming Simulator 25 marks our most successful launch yet and proves that our bond with the community has grown even stronger. Their enthusiasm and support is not only at the heart of our success, but a driving force behind our continued commitment to delivering an unparalleled and satisfying farming experience. The launch was just the start for FS25." Including the other main games in the series, Swiss-based Giants Software also reports more than 40 million copies of Farming Simulator sold worldwide.

Farming Simulator 25 will receive free content updates and patches as well as new packs and expansions. The Year 1 Season Pass, which is already available, includes three official packs and a major expansion that will be available to pass holders as the content is released.
