Two Green Thumbs Up: ‘Farming Simulator VR’ Launches on Meta Quest Today

Harvest season. Corn fields stretching out to the horizon, stalks subtly waving in the wind. You did this. You sowed, you tended, and now you get to reap the rewards of all that labor—and you never even had to leave your living room.

The acclaimed Farming Simulator series finally comes to VR today, courtesy of longtime developer and publisher GIANTS Software. Get your digital hands dirty as you turn a humble farm into an agricultural powerhouse. Cultivate entire fields of corn, soy, and wheat. Harvest, bale, and sell using real-world machinery.

Farming Simulator VR lets you go hands-on with top-of-the-line machines from Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, and other manufacturers. It’s the most immersive way to experience these leviathans short of making a trip to the countryside and renting an actual tractor. And when the work is done, head to the garage, grab some tools, and wrench on your equipment to keep it in perfect shape. There’s even a power-washer so you can get all the mud off.

Want something a little more personal? The greenhouse lets you do smaller-scale farming, hand-planting tomatoes, strawberries, and more. Just make sure they get the right amount of love and care to come to fruition!

It might sound like a lot of hard work, but any Farming Simulator fan can tell you it’s surprisingly relaxing. All the satisfaction, none of the sweat—plus it’s just plain fun to drive a baler.

Green up that thumb, because Farming Simulator VR is available now on the Meta Horizon Store!
