The name being mentioned in this story is Farming Simulator 25. True to its name, this is a game themed around farm management, but don’t underestimate its popularity.
Farming Simulator 25 can be considered a special upgraded version of this series with countless significant updates. And this game is so good that the number of flocking to experience it is higher than ever on Steam.
Specifically, on its very first day of release, Farming Simulator 25 witnessed a peak of 126,000 concurrent players – the highest ever for this series, breaking the previous record of 105,000 that had stood for quite some time.
More importantly, in terms of player count at that moment, Farming Simulator 25 surpassed numerous other blockbusters like Throne and Liberty – a currently popular MMO game, or Deadlock – a new blockbuster from Valve, and even Baldur’s Gate 3 – Game of the Year 2023. This achievement alone is enough to highlight the success that Farming Simulator 25 has brought.
The strong improvements are the biggest factor that has led to the enthusiastic response to Farming Simulator 25. The lineup of gardening vehicles and fields has been upgraded with over 400 models, three maps spread across three different contents – including Asia for the first time in the history of the game series. The challenges have also increased with the introduction of tornadoes or hail, altering the state of the land and potentially endangering crops. However, despite the huge number of players, the initial reviews on Steam for Farming Simulator 25 are not entirely positive.
There are up to 62% of reviews lacking positivity for Farming Simulator 25. Most believe that the game does not have enough new content or progress in improving gameplay compared to Farming Simulator 23. But surely, this ratio will improve over time.
