The developers of Farming Simulator 25 have released patch 1.6, which includes the first free content update. New vehicles have been added to the game, as well as many improvements and fixes aimed at improving performance and stability of the gameplay.

Update 1.6 for Farming Simulator 25 was an important step in improving the game. It not only added new equipment, but also improved stability and performance. It is especially nice that the developers continue to work on the network game - fixing bugs, reducing lags and improving synchronization.

⚠ Important: The update is rolling out gradually, so it may take time before it becomes available on all platforms. During this period, you may experience minor crossplay interruptions. It's also worth considering that you may experience slowdowns on first launch - this is a problem with all updates. This can be especially noticeable when using shaders and mods.

What's new?

Update 1.6 offers several key innovations, including new vehicles, improved optimization, bug fixes and new features.

New vehicles have been added

As part of the first free content update, new vehicles have been added to dealerships:
