The beloved farming life simulator is set to become even more immersive with the announcement of Farming Simulator VR by Giants Software. This virtual reality experience will transport players directly into the heart of agricultural life, offering a "brand new" farming adventure. Players will be tasked with managing the full cycle of farming activities, from sowing and harvesting crops to tending vegetables in greenhouses, all while maintaining their equipment to ensure the growth and success of their farm.
The announcement has been met with enthusiasm from the series' fanbase, who see Farming Simulator VR as not just a game, but also a potential educational tool. Amidst the excitement, fans have been curious about one particular detail: What would happen if one were to step in front of a working combine harvester in the virtual world?
Scheduled for release on February 28, Farming Simulator VR will be exclusively available on Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro devices, promising an engaging and realistic farming experience.
For future virtual farmers, the developers have outlined a comprehensive set of features to look forward to. These include the complete agricultural process from planting to selling, the cultivation of various crops like tomatoes, eggplants, and strawberries in greenhouses, and the use of official machinery from renowned manufacturers such as Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, and John Deere. Players will also have the opportunity to repair and maintain their machines in a dedicated workshop, adding an extra layer of realism with the ability to pressure wash their equipment.
