News: Farming Simulator 17 appears to have some welcome changes this year along with mods for both console and PC.

Farming Simulator 17 is coming out in a few months from Focus Home Interactive and Giants Software. Earlier today they released a gameplay video showing off some of what you can expect when you go from seeding a field to harvesting your product. In Farming Simulator, you take on the role of a modern farmer with hundreds of acres of agricultural freedom. You have access to the world's latest equipment and vehicles, and choose from a plethora of different crops to yield and livestock to raise in a big open-world environment.

While the game is an accurate simulator at heart with deep management options, it is also a very accessible sandbox, with two huge maps and countless vehicles & equipment to use and play with. All the big farming manufacturers are here, and Farming Simulator 17 boasts the franchise's largest roster yet with over 200 unique vehicles and equipment spanning 70 different brands. For the first time in Farming Simulator history, AGCO brands Challenger, Fendt, Valtra, and Massey Ferguson are available.

Potentially endless possibilities can also be opened up through user-created mods, which, for the first time in Farming Simulator history, are now available for both console and PC users. You can even let your friends visit and help you with your farm in online, mod-supported, multiplayer - up to 6 simultaneous farmers for consoles, and 16 for PC.
