Released on November 12, 2024, Farming Simulator 25 is already a huge success with more than 2 million copies sold in just one week. Proof that the series is still eagerly awaited by a very present community. To these figures, we can add a peak of 125,000 players connected simultaneously on the day of launch on Steam, while the series overall has more than 40 million copies sold. This enthusiasm from the release of the game proves a significant increase of more than 30% compared to the last gfranchise record, which was 1.5 million copies for the Farming Simulator 22 episode over the same period. Enough to allow GIANTS Software to feel like it is growing wings since the studio is self-publishing and which must make Focus Entertainment regret not having been able to keep such a partner in its wake.
“When our ambitious self-publishing journey began with Farming Simulator 22, we were already thrilled with the resonance from our unique, engaged and passionate community”comments Boris Stefan, publishing manager at GIANTS Software, before adding: “Farming Simulator 25 marks our most successful launch to date and proves that our connection with the community has grown even stronger. Their enthusiasm and support is not only at the heart of our success, but also a driving force behind our continued commitment to deliver an unrivaled and satisfying farming experience. The launch was just the beginning of FS25.”
