Farming Simulator 22 Platinum Edition Expansion Details Revealed

To all the simulation games lovers and those wanting to break free from the pressure of some end-of-round statistics: we got you covered and invite you to get into the peaceful farm life! Of course, we came equipped with some good opinions on why you should. Other than the soothing effects of caring for your crops and managing fluffy farm animals.

Farming Simulator 22 gets a great and shiny upgrade with the forthcoming Platinum Edition. What this means is, well… it’s the best way to start your new life as a virtual farmer.

But first, let’s do a recap, of what the base game of Farming Simulator 22, which is included in the Platinum Edition, already offers: Diverse American and European maps to build and manage your own, ever-expanding farm. Agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry. Big sandboxes full of nature for you, your farm animals, and even your friends. If you prefer playing with friends, run a farm together and join our massive (and helpful, inclusive) community.

What else? Hundreds of authentic machines from the world’s most renowned brands are available – you have probably seen more of them already than you imagine. You will definitely notice even more of them in real-life after having operated them in Farming Simulator. With production chains, you form an agricultural empire – buying buildings like bakeries, biogas plants, or various factories. The four seasons, introduced with Farming Simulator 22, challenge you to adapt to seasonal changes in your farming operation.

You decide whether you want to manage idyllic vineyards, striping the hillsides of your land with grape vines and olive groves in a Mediterranean environment; run an animal farm with sheep and cows in vast mountainous grasslands of the European Alps – or harvest hundreds of acres of corn (American-style) in the U.S. Midwest.

Because the in-game ModHub presents an endless, growing pool of mods – officially tested by our developers to customize your farming experience with quality modifications.

Now, with the Platinum Edition, we stock up on everything: New brands, including Volvo and others, join the fleet of over 100 big players in the industry (like Case IH, CLAAS, DEUTZ-Fahr, Fendt, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra and many others – you name it). Over 40 machines get added – pushing the counter of available vehicles and tools to more than 500 overall! That’s especially interesting for all those machine enthusiasts – but even if you’re not one of them, you’ll be impressed by what kind of machines are being operated in the exciting world of agriculture.

One of the most interesting additions is the Volvo L200H High Lift – a modern and powerful tool to step up your logging game. It can unload a truck faster than you ever imagined! The real thing was only just unveiled to the public. Meaning that virtual farmers will be among the first to operate the machine. It’s the successor to the L180H – the market-leading wheel loader.

Before loading logs, you must cut them: The John Deere 843l-II Wheeled Feller buncher is a real powerhouse for that: Combining impressive horsepower with fast cycle times, this is your muscle at hand to get down to the forestry business. Be sure to reforest and plant some trees after producing massive amounts of logs and wood chips.

A fourth map will add an exciting new scenario to delve into. Silverrun Forest is motivated by the Pacific Northwest with its woody landscapes and varies from the base game maps quite a bit. There will be new production chains, and contracts to fast earn your farm some money or test some machines while helping your neighbors, you could even create a boat at the shipyard.  We’re working on new gameplay mechanics, too – we’ll share more information about all those things at a later date.
