Farming Simulator 23: Nintendo Switch Edition announced

Original (2/23): Farming Simulator 23: Nintendo Switch Edition is in development, publisher and developer Giants Software announced today. A release is planned for May 23, 2023.

Farming Simulator 23: Nintendo Switch Edition promises new features in an open-world setting. More information can be found in the following overview:

Farming Simulator 23 is the successor to the globally acclaimed Farming Simulator 20 released in 2019. Players choose their way of farming, whether it’s agriculture, animal husbandry, or forestry. Different types of machines help with all activities on the farm and beyond: More than 100 authentic vehicles and tools from world-renowned manufacturers such as Case IH, CLAAS, DEUTZ-FAHR, Fendt, John Deere, KRONE, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra & many others are included in the game.

New gameplay mechanics allow various production chains, whereas players produce flour from their harvested wheat to sell bread – or furniture from wood, or even clothes from sheep wool! Plowing and weeds offer more new activities as additional options to cultivate the fields.

No farm without animals: Farming Simulator 23 newly adds chickens to cows, horses, pigs, and sheep. Whether breeding, collecting eggs, or riding out on a horse, all these cute animals enrich the farm life.

Grapes, olives, and sorghum are new among the 14 crops to harvest. Players can also take a stroll and search for collectibles or simply enjoy the seasonal visual changes in the landscapes: There is a lot to explore in Amberstone and Neubrunn, the two unique maps, inspired by environments in the USA and Europe.

The improved tutorial mode, AI helper, and the new auto-loading feature for logs and pallets support the players in their farming career. In May, it’s time to start farming anywhere you want to let the good times grow!

Boris Stefan, Head of Publishing at Giants Software, said of today’s announcement: “Whether in the chicken coop, on the field or when transporting goods, the various possibilities in Farming Simulator 23 ensure rich diversity and limitless fun. We’re happy to deliver our fans the next installment in the series; Farming Simulator 23 is poised to become an impressive mobile platform milestone in our company line-up.”

Farming Simulator 23: Nintendo Switch Edition will be sold both physically and digitally on Switch.
