Farming Simulator 16-Bit Edition: Retro Cartridge Collectible from Giants Software and Strictly Limited

Strictly Limited (United Games Entertainment) has announced the upcoming release of Farming Simulator 16-Bit Edition for Mega Drive/Genesis compatible consoles - in collaboration with Giants Software.

Strictly Limited (United Games Entertainment) and Giants Software will release Farming Simulator 16-Bit Edition for Mega Drive/Genesis compatible consoles. This collaboration follows the success of their Farming Simulator 25 Collector's Edition, which was released exclusively for PC in November 2024, while the standard edition was released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The Collector's Edition featured a retro cartridge-style version, "which received overwhelmingly positive feedback from both fans and collectors," the companies said. The response was so strong that it prompted Giants Software to explore a standalone retro version - leading to this dedicated 16-bit release with Strictly Limited.

This retro adaptation of Farming Simulator will be available in two collectible formats: a Limited Edition, released on 14 May 2025, and a Deluxe Edition, released in July 2025. Both editions will be available exclusively through the Strictly Limited Store. Each edition will include an exclusive green cartridge, produced in a total quantity of only 1,000 units worldwide. The Limited Edition will retail for €49.99, while the Deluxe Edition - which includes additional collectible content - will retail for €69.99. Both editions are fully compatible with Mega Drive/Genesis-style retro hardware.

In addition to the Strictly Limited store exclusive editions, a separate black cartridge edition will be made available by Strictly Limited to select retail partners such as Amazon for the global market and VideoGamesPlus in North America. While the content of the game will remain the same, the colour of the cartridge and packaging will clearly differentiate the retail version from the Strictly Limited exclusive editions.
