First look: Farming Simulator comes to VR

Get ready to experience farming like never before! Giants Software has officially announced Farming Simulator VR, a groundbreaking virtual reality experience that plunges you into the heart of agricultural life. This isn't just an update; it's a completely immersive "brand new" farming experience. Prepare to tackle every aspect of running your own farm, from planting and harvesting crops with realistic equipment to nurturing delicate vegetables in greenhouses and keeping your machinery in top condition. The development and prosperity of your virtual farm rests entirely on your capable virtual hands.

The announcement has been overwhelmingly well-received by fans, who see Farming Simulator VR as a potential learning tool and a uniquely immersive experience. One burning question on everyone's mind: what happens if you accidentally wander into the path of a working combine harvester? We'll have to wait and see!

Farming Simulator VR is slated for release on February 28th, exclusively for Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro devices.

So, what can virtual farmers expect? Giants Software promises a complete agricultural cycle, from planting seeds to selling your bountiful harvest. You'll cultivate a variety of crops in greenhouses, including tomatoes, eggplants, and strawberries. Authentic machinery from industry giants like Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, and John Deere will be at your disposal. You'll even have your own workshop for repairs and maintenance, adding another layer of realism. And for the ultimate in detail, you can even pressure wash your equipment!
