Originally developed by Giants Software, the first game launched as Farming Simulator 2008. Since then, it has received a new game almost every year, with the latest being Farming Simulator 20.

For a series as niche as Farming Simulator, it has actually amassed a sizable player base who return to each new iteration year after year. Since the release of the first game in 2008, it has steadily seen a growth in players. However, the success of Farming Simulator doesn't end there. According to VentureBeat, the free mobile games have apparently been downloaded over 90 million times, and the first Farming Simulator Esports league (yep, that exists) had a massive €250k prize pool in 2019.
Some Farming Simulator stats for the real gamers out there.
