Farming Simulator 25 News

Here's something to kick off the first year of additional content for Farming Simulator 25: On March 11th, you can start using the world's first holistic crop production system, NEXAT!

Pre-order is now available for PC and consoles. Owners of the Season Pass get automatic access on release. You can still get it! The Season Pass grants you three packs, one expansion and saves you 25% compared to purchasing everything individually.

What's NEXAT?


NEXAT, an acronym for “Next Generation Agriculture Technology”, is the world's first holistic crop production system. Engineered by the German manufacturer of the same name, it's based on a strong, versatile, and wide-span carrier vehicle.

Letting you integrate various interchangeable modules, it aims to reduce the total number of required machines. That way, the all-in-one machine handles multiple tasks in one pass and to the highest efficiency.


12 Machines & 7 Brands


With the NEXAT Pack, you get 12 machines by seven brands. Included next to the carrier vehicle are the NEXCO harvesting module as well as implement modules from leading agricultural brands for spraying, seeding, fertilizing and more.

Einböck, Geringhoff and Väderstad are also represented, while Dammann, Evers Agro and Wienhoff make their debut to the Farming Simulator series.
