About Farm Simulator 2025
Farm Simulator 2025 is a farming management sim from Christopher Ikeda, arriving October 24, 2025, on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. It’s part of the long-running series but adds racing and arcade elements to the mix. You’ll run a modern farm, handling everything from planting crops to raising livestock and managing finances. The game promises realism but with a lighter, more accessible feel compared to past entries. Single-player only, with no multiplayer modes. Think of it as a blend of resource management and machinery operation, wrapped in a rural setting. The elevator pitch? “Run your own farm, but with the option to race tractors between chores.”
Gameplay
Your day starts with choosing a task: plant soybeans, fix equipment, or trade livestock. Controls are button-heavy, with context-sensitive actions for everything from harvesting to milking cows. The core loop involves planning fields, managing resources like fuel and money, and dealing with weather shifts. A typical session might have you switching between driving a combine harvester, optimizing storage, or upgrading barns. The arcade racing mode lets you speed through fields in modified vehicles, though it feels tacked on compared to the sim core. Progression is slow but methodical, with new crops and machinery unlocked as you expand. The Switch version supports handheld play, though the complexity might suffer on smaller screens.
What Players Think
Early PlayPile data shows a 78% user rating, with 62% of players averaging 37 hours. 43% finish the main story, and 31% hit 100% completion. Community moods skew 75% “relaxing” and 65% “satisfying,” though 28% report “boring” in reviews. One player wrote, “Finally, a sim that doesn’t punish you for making mistakes.” Achievement stats are notable: 203 total, with 68% average completion rate. The racing mode divides players, 47% call it “fun,” while 35% say it’s “irrelevant.” Average price paid is $59.99, with 58% of buyers claiming it’s “worth it.” Critics are split, with Metacritic at 72.
PlayPile's Take
Farm Simulator 2025 works best for casual players who enjoy slow-burn management. The arcade racing mode feels like a half-baked addition, but the core sim is polished. At $60, it’s a solid buy if you’ve enjoyed past entries or light sim games. The 203 achievements add replayability, but 31% of players abandon it before full completion. Not for anyone seeking fast-paced action, it’s a grind, plain and simple. If you like methodical progress and don’t mind repetition, this is your tractor to steer.
