Developer-publisher Giants Software has now set its sights on the Switch 2, announcing Farming Simulator Signature Edition for Nintendo's upcoming console. While technically a Switch 2 exclusive, the newly announced title can also be viewed as another version of the recently released Farming Simulator 25, the game that it's based on. Like the 2024 entry, Farming Simulator SE will incorporate a vast selection of equipment, offering 400 machines spanning 150 international brands. 25 crop types and three distinctive maps will also be part of the package, allowing players to tend to North American, European, and East Asian farmlands.

Farming Simulator Signature Edition May Somewhat Differ From FS25

Farming Simulator Signature Edition's concept and timing are reminiscent of Farming Simulator Switch Edition, which was effectively a rebranded and slightly altered version of Farming Simulator 17 that arrived shortly after Nintendo's 2017 console. It lacked multiplayer, modding support, and DLC—omissions that were widely attributed to the hardware limitations of its target platform, although this reasoning was never officially confirmed. With the Switch 2 being an immensely more powerful device than its predecessor, Giants Software may have an easier time incorporating some Nintendo platform-first features, most notably ModHub support. The company has yet to clarify whether Signature Edition will have any notable differences compared to Farming Simulator 25.

Farming Simulator Signature Edition is officially slated to arrive this winter, so sometime between late December 2025 and March 2026. As such, it's set to debut as one of the first third-party Switch 2 exclusives, following the likes of Fast Fusion, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, and Survival Kids—all of which are part of the upcoming console's launch lineup.

Following the release of Farming Simulator Switch Edition, Giants Software launched two more series entries for Nintendo's first hybrid console, averaging one every third year. If that pattern continues, FS Signature Edition could be the only Farming Simulator game for the Switch 2 until around 2028. That isn’t to say Nintendo’s upcoming console will be lacking in farming sims or games that incorporate similar mechanics; My Time at Evershine has long been confirmed for the Switch 2, and many more cozy titles are likely to follow, especially given their popularity on Nintendo’s 2017 console. The Switch 2 is also expected to receive another mainline Animal Crossing game over the course of its lifecycle.
