Farming Simulator fans get ready, Global Farmer lets you reap what sow anywhere on Earth

If you aren’t a fan of the Farming Simulator franchise, it’s hard to comprehend, from the outside, just how insanely popular the game is. Much like the Euro and American Truck Simulators, Farming Simulator from Giants Software has a huge following, an annual Fan convention, and a steady stream of DLCs and mods that keep adding even more realism to the experience. #

With the agricultural niche seeming entirely intensively farmed by Giants, it is perhaps surprising nobody else has had much of a crack at it.

Until now, that is. Enter Global Farmer, while not attacking exactly the same sim market, Global Farmer aims to sow a different kind of seed and co-exist alongside Faeming Simulator.

This is actually coming from Aerosoft, which is perhaps better known for its add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, but also occasionally dabbles in full games.

Global Farmer is different from anything out there, as you can start your “agricultural journey from virtually anywhere on Earth, thanks to the game’s OpenStreetMap integration. Whether you’re planting wheat in the French countryside, managing irrigation in the Amazon Rainforest, or trying your luck in your own local park, Global Farmer blends strategic gameplay with grounded realism to deliver a farming simulator unlike any other.”

“From the start, we wanted Global Farmer to feel like a personal experience. Seeing players often choosing their own backyard to start their venture, every region, big or small, had to feature local nuances and details, to really feel like home,” said Thorsten Feldmann, CEO at Thera Bytes. During the early access period, we’ve taken feedback from players, expanded the core systems, and built a true simulation where every decision has a meaningful impact on the farm, business, and local area. We can’t wait to see what players create, grow, and share in this new chapter.”

So if you fancy some realistic farming action, and maybe even digging up your annoying neighbours back lawn, Global Farmer is available now with currently 25% off on Steam
