First look: Farming Simulator comes to VR

Get ready for a truly immersive farming experience! Giants Software has announced Farming Simulator VR, bringing the popular farming sim to virtual reality. This "brand new" experience promises a deeper level of engagement.

Players will manage every aspect of farm life, from planting and harvesting crops with realistic machinery to tending greenhouses and maintaining their equipment. The goal? Build a thriving and prosperous virtual farm.

The announcement has been met with enthusiasm, with fans suggesting its potential as an educational tool and, more importantly, wondering about the consequences of getting too close to a combine harvester!

Farming Simulator VR launches February 28th, exclusively for Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro headsets.

Future virtual farmers can expect:

• A complete farming cycle: Planting, harvesting, packaging, and selling your produce.
• Greenhouse cultivation: Grow a variety of crops, including tomatoes, eggplants, and strawberries.
• Authentic machinery: Officially licensed equipment from Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, and more.
• Workshop maintenance: Repair and maintain your machinery in your own virtual workshop.
• Enhanced realism: Even includes pressure washing your equipment!
