We love a free content update and if you are a fan of Farming Simulator 25 you are going to love this one too. We mentioned last week about the new NEXCO pack and only yesterday we were looking at Thrustmaster’s new Farming Sim 25’s controller but what about some lovely free stuff and a patch that includes a fix for grass-eating cows and sorting out the fact that the spinach was not withering?
Three million copies sold already is enough to keep the studio keen with updates here and with this year’s FarmCon on the horizon too, life has never been so good down on the virtual farm.
Giants Software has now released a Free Content Update to add more machines to the fleet of already more than 400 vehicles and tools.
The pack includes:
- Albutt f155A Bale Grab
- CLAAS ARION (550 – 530) Tractor
- CLAAS FL 140 Frontloader
- John Deere 6R Series (230 – 250) Tractor
- John Deere 683R Frontloader
The update includes a wide range of agricultural equipment, led by renowned manufacturers CLAAS and John Deere. In particular, virtual farmers can look forward to operating CLAAS ARION and John Deere 6R tractors that are included in the free content update. The manufacturer Albutt is also represented, which specializes in attachments for agricultural machinery.
