"Farming Simulator 22 introduced some remarkable milestones to the long-running, family-friendly series, which fans don't want to miss anymore: Production chains added the ability to produce valuable goods, while seasonal challenges and a growth calendar upgraded the realism," says the company. "The cross-platform multiplayer support united the community and improved the online experience for both cooperative and competitive modes - the latter will be used in the upcoming World Championships as the Farming Simulator League concludes its fifth season of esports in July."
