Farming Simulator 22 (2021)
GIANTS Software's Swiss Agricultural Machinery Simulation, Seasonal Cycles, and Global Bestseller
Self-published and engineered by Zurich-based GIANTS Software in 2021, Farming Simulator 22 is the undisputed global sovereign of agricultural and heavy machinery simulations. Faithfully modeling over 400 meticulously digitized machines from 100+ prestigious international manufacturers—including John Deere, CLAAS, Case IH, and Fendt—it introduced dynamic seasonal cycles, snow clearing, viticulture (grapes and olives), and integrated production chains, cementing its status as Switzerland's most profitable commercial gaming export.
Seasonal Weather and Industrial Production Chains
Introducing authentic planting and harvesting calendar constraints, players adapted to sub-zero winter frosts. The groundbreaking production chain system transformed raw agricultural yields: wheat was milled into flour, delivered to commercial bakeries, and sold as packaged bread for multiplied economic returns.
Open Modding Engine and the Farming Simulator League
Leveraging GIANTS Engine's peerless modding portal, the community expanded the ecosystem with thousands of realistic implements and regional landscapes. Supported by the competitive Farming Simulator League (FSL) bale-stacking esports tournament, it sold millions of units globally.
