Farming Simulator VR: First Impressions

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 promises to bring players closer to the authentic world of agriculture, offering a "brand new" farming adventure. Players will engage directly in tasks such as sowing and harvesting crops, tending to vegetables in greenhouses, and maintaining their equipment, all to foster the growth and success of their own farm.

The announcement has been warmly received by fans of the series, who are excited about the potential of Farming Simulator VR as an educational tool. However, they also pose a curious question: What would happen if you get in the way of a working combine harvester in the VR environment?

Scheduled for release on February 28, Farming Simulator VR will be available exclusively on Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro devices, ensuring a highly immersive experience for virtual farmers.

Looking ahead, the developers have outlined what players can expect from this groundbreaking VR game. The full cycle of agricultural work will be included, from planting and harvesting to packing and selling produce. Players will also have the opportunity to grow a variety of crops like tomatoes, eggplants, and strawberries in greenhouses. The game features official machinery from renowned manufacturers such as Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, and John Deere, adding to the realism. Additionally, players will be able to repair and maintain their machines in their own workshop, and even enjoy an extra touch of realism by washing their equipment with a pressure washer.
