Giants Software has just announced that its best-selling PC title, Farming Simulator 2013, will be making its way to consoles later this year.
The game, which has players developing and tending their own virtual ranches, will feature exclusive content when it launches on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this September. Not only will console gamers have access to an array of new vehicles, they can also build themselves a farm in a brand-new North American environment.
Focus Home Interactive will be on publishing duty, at least in European regions.
Until you can barrel roll a combine harvester over a flaming barnyard, I doubt I’ll be pulling on a pair of wellies, though I’m sure plenty will be eager to see what all the fuss is about.

Never thought I would see ‘best selling’ and ‘farming simulator’ in the sentence.

I’ve got to ask, any multiplayer? :)

There is actually! It boils down to who makes the most money with their farm. I play on PC though.

So it’s basically FarmVille? Not that I’ve played FarmVille but I’m guessing that’s what is involved.

I think a better comparison would be Harvest Moon, which was actually such a great game (Gamecube version)…
This could be interesting!

A British version would involve basic survival rather than making any money, unless there’s a glitch that enables sales of horse meat!

Ploughing contests anyone? ;)

Do a search for Yogscast and Farming Simulator on Youtube!

No word yet, though unlikely.
My prayers for online hay-baling races may go unanswered, sadly.

i would much rather see euro truck simulator 2 come to console’s, I highly doubt I will ever play this game

I’d sign a petition for that, especially if they bought multiplayer to it as the modders are for the PC version.

Legitimately excited. I’ll definitely be buying this.

Of all the simulators to be ported over. It had to be the farming one. Does it come with a free shotgun which enables to you yell “Get off me land” at people? :p
I would have thought it would have been either the plane simulator or train simulators that got ported over instead of the farming one.
Airiaen
if the train sims did the ps3 would explode.

You guys shouldn’t write this game off, its quite successful on PC and its also quite interesting to play!
