FARMING SIMULATOR 25 SOLD 4 MILLION COPIES & GROWS WITH YEAR 2 SEASON PASS

Since its launch one year ago, Farming Simulator 25 has sold 4 Million copies world-wide. GIANTS Software, publisher and developer of the globally popular franchise, announced the sales milestone alongside new content that virtual farmers can look forward to in its upcoming sophomore year. 

Year 2: New Packs & Major Expansion

The Year 2 Season Pass will extend Farming Simulator 25 with additional packs and a major expansion throughout 2026. While the first and second quarters of the year will see the release of two packs, the fourth quarter is reserved for something bigger: another major expansion, following the recent Highlands Fishing expansion which introduced a Scotland-inspired Highlands environment and aquaculture alongside over 20 new machines and gameplay mechanics. More info to follow. A bonus machine is ready to claim instantly: the JCB WFT – the world’s fastest tractor.

Four Million Farmers World-Wide

“It’s amazing,” says Boris Stefan, CSO and Head of Publishing at GIANTS Software. “It’s not the sales number itself, but the enormous engagement and the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from our community following the conclusion of Year 1,” he explains, having rung a real-life ship’s bell in the office to celebrate the successful launch of the latest sea-themed expansion. “We’re grateful for our fans and four Million farmers and do not take this success for granted”, he says.

More Free Content on the Way

While the expansion, past packs, and free content updates exceeded the number of over 400 authentic machines and 150 real brands by far, GIANTS Software has even more planned for everyone: Aside from the Year 2 Season Pass that saves up to 30 % compared to buying the two packs and one expansion separately, a variety of free content is already in production and to be expected soon and throughout 2026 as well.

Farming Simulator 25 is available for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. Farming Simulator 25: Highlands Fishing Edition includes the main game and the Highlands Fishing expansion and is available at selected channels. GIANTS Software will also continue to release free content updates and user-generated content on the official ModHub. Visit the official Farming Simulator website.

Huntsman Launches on PC 27th November

New video series celebrates the upcoming nightmare

London, UK (17/11/2025) – Ten Image Publishing and OnTheHouse Studio today announced Huntsman is coming to PC on 27th November. The date reveal is part of Creature Features, a new trailer series examining each spider type. The full game will launch on Steam on 27th November at 5pm GMT / 9am PST / 12pm EST and Episode 1 of Creature Features, focusing on the Huntsman, is here. The game can be wishlisted here.

Huntsman traps players inside a spider-infested research facility in a classic survival horror experience, with multiple arachnid types featuring realistic behaviours for pure nightmare fuel. Experience your first, and possibly last, day at Atherton Labs’ Experimental BioSolutions Division and unravel the web of intrigue and mystery on PC on 27th November.

Creature Features

Episode One looks at the huntsman spider, a fast moving type that appears throughout the game and hunts prey using noise, especially from fast moving footsteps. Cautious players can often sneak by. Clever players can use the environment to distract hungry arachnids.

Episode Two releases later this week and focuses on the orb weaver spider, an aerial assassin that snatches slow moving prey from above and cocoons them alive in silken webs. While orb weavers don’t stray from their hiding spot, they are often difficult to spot in darkened areas, meaning players need to look up. Throwable objects can cause them to temporarily retreat.

Episodes Three and Four will unveil the final two spider types, each with their own behaviours, hunting patterns and tips to increase your chances of survival.

Ten Image founder, Chris White, said, “Our launch date is looming on the horizon with all the menace and poise of a giant huntsman spider, ready to pounce. The reception to the demo was incredible and the tens of thousands of players who started to unravel the mystery of Atheron Labs have provided amazing feedback.”

The full game will launch on Steam on 27th November.

Roguelike deck-building tower defense prepares to hit PC! Wishlist now to shape the future of the frozen battlefield!

17 November, 2025. Indie developer Lyra Studio is thrilled to announce that FrostBound, the roguelike deck-building tower defense game set in a relentless frozen world, will launch for PC via Steam on November 27th, 2025. Players can add FrostBound to their Steam Wishlist now. 

FrostBound takes inspiration from Game of Thrones, channelling its brutal battles, human conflicts, and the desperate fight against an endless winter. Echoing the firelit stands beyond the Wall, the game turns those themes into strategic survival, where fragile alliances, unexpected heroes, and unity are the only way to endure the cold.

Endless Strategy in a World of Ice

FrostBound combines deep deck-building with tactical defense and roguelike replayability. With nine escalating difficulty levels, every run tests your adaptability – tougher enemies, tighter resources, and new events like Fortifications and Beacons that reshape the battlefield and your strategy.

Players can unlock and customize their deck from over 500 cards across four factions and five categories – Attack, Defense, Skill, Structure, and Elite – each offering new tactical options. Nurture powerful Elite heroes, exploit risky Curse cards, and experiment with endless combinations to craft your own path to survival.

Built on pillars of adaptive difficulty, replayable challenges, and achievement-driven progression, FrostBound ensures no two battles ever play the same. Whether you’re optimizing complex synergies, testing new deck archetypes, or pushing for survival at the hardest tier, every victory feels earned in this beautifully brutal frozen world.

Lead the construction of your fortress, marshal resources, and withstand waves of twisted enemies in a world where the frost never ends. With a massive 500+ card pool, countless building upgrades, and heroes with unique abilities, you’ll craft the ultimate defense and turn the tide against the unyielding cold.

Plan each turn carefully, decide when to attack or reposition, and balance the harsh conditions that force units to retreat. Only your strongest warriors and fortifications will endure the relentless frost.

FrostBound has already turned heads across the industry. The game was nominated for the 2025 indiePlay China Independent Game Awards’ “Best Design Award” and named a finalist at the 17th Golden Dolphin Awards during the Xiamen International Animation Festival, early recognition that highlights its inventive design, striking art direction, and the passion driving Lyra Studio’s vision.

Winter is here, and the fate of humanity hangs by a thread. Add FrostBound to your Steam Wishlist now to get ready to be part of the launch on November 27th and help shape the evolution of this roguelike tower defense epic. Check out the demo, live now on Steam!

Experience their dreams and the dangers that haunt them, live the hellos and goodbyes that defined their lives, witness their adventures, and uncover memories and mysteries. Explore detailed environments in a comic-book aesthetic and immerse yourself in the unique historic backdrop of a colourful city with a turbulent past.

“We’re really excited to open the doors of The Berlin Apartment to the world today,” said Game Director Hans Böhme. “We’ve had amazing feedback on the game from everyone who has visited the apartment at shows over the last couple of years and now it’s time to finally let everyone discover all the stories that are hidden within the apartment for themselves as they jump through history and genres.”
