Farming Simulator game adds Kubota to its fleet
Farmer's Weekly
|June 24, 2022
The popular virtual farming game Farming Simulator has added a range of realistically depicted Kubota machinery to its ever-expanding fleet of agricultural machinery.
-
Over the past few years, consumers have begun to show greater interest in how their food is produced and manufactured. In line with this, software company GIANTS developed the virtual farm production game Farming Simulator in 2008, and the game has evolved over the years.
In November 2021, GIANTS released Farming Simulator 22, which features a seasonal cycle, production chains for harvested crops and livestock products, new crops (grapes, olives and sorghum) and over 400 vehicles and implements. The latest version of the game, which has products from real-life manufacturers, including Case IH, John Deere, New Holland, CLAAS and Massey Ferguson, has now added Kubota to its virtual platform.
THE GAME
Farming Simulator has a simple premise: the gamer has the task of developing and maintaining a profitable farming operation. A player can breed livestock, grow crops and sell assets.
