The beloved farming life simulator is about to become even more immersive. Giants Software, the developers behind the series, have officially announced Farming Simulator VR, a virtual reality experience that will bring players closer to the world of agriculture than ever before.
Dubbed a "brand new" farming experience, players will engage in a range of activities essential for the development and prosperity of their farm. This includes independently managing the sowing and harvesting of crops, tending to vegetables in greenhouses, and maintaining their vehicles. The announcement has been met with enthusiasm from fans of the series, who see potential in using Farming Simulator VR as an educational tool. However, one curious question on everyone's mind is: What happens if you get in the way of a working combine harvester?
Farming Simulator VR is set to launch on February 28, and will be exclusively available for Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro devices.
For aspiring virtual farmers, the future looks promising. The developers have outlined a comprehensive list of features that will be included in the game:
- A full cycle of agricultural work, encompassing planting, harvesting, packing, and selling of crops.
- The opportunity to grow a variety of crops in greenhouses, including tomatoes, eggplants, strawberries, and more.
- Access to official machinery from renowned manufacturers such as Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, and others.
- The ability to repair and maintain machines in a dedicated workshop.
- An added layer of realism with the option to pressure wash machines.
With these features, Farming Simulator VR promises to offer an engaging and realistic farming experience, pushing the boundaries of what virtual reality can bring to simulation gaming.
