Hello Ranchers,

We are very excited to reveal our plans for 2025, which include 3 updates spread over Summer, Fall, and Winter of 2025.

EDIT: We've seen a few of you asking if the updates announced here will be released as paid DLC, so for clarity: these are upcoming game updates which will be released for free.



In the Summer, sheep will arrive to Ranch Simulator. These heavily requested animals can be sheared for their wool or butchered for their meat. You'll also be able to breed them as with all livestock in the game.

Later in the year during the Fall period, we will be adding a host of additional decoration and building items, enabling players to make their ranch feel more like a home.

We will also be updating the in-game economy, in particular around the selling of goods. Adding systems which change prices based on supply and demand, making the in-game economy more engaging.

For those who may need time to relax away from the ranch after a long day's work, we will be bring fishing to Ranch Simulator in Winter. Grab your rods and head down to the lake, chill out with friends and catch a few fish while you enjoy the sunset.

As we approach each update, more details and dates will be shared.

Keep an eye out for news and, as always, keep the feedback coming on the Steam forums and our Discord.
