Paderborn, Germany, August 14th, 2025: Publishers Aerosoft and developers Thera Bytes are proud to announce the full launch of Global Farmer on Steam, available right now! After months of community-driven development, gameplay evolution, and deep system refinements, the immersive farming strategy experience is ready for a global harvest.
In Global Farmer, players start their agricultural journey from virtually anywhere on Earth, thanks to the game’s OpenStreetMap integration. Whether you're planting wheat in the French countryside, managing irrigation in the Amazon Rainforest, or trying your luck in your own local park, Global Farmer blends strategic gameplay with grounded realism to deliver a farming simulator unlike any other.
You’ll break new ground, manage fields, rotate crops, maintain infrastructure, and tackle real-world agricultural challenges, from unpredictable weather to limited resources and local demand. Every farm in every region will face unique settings, appropriate to the region you’re farming in. Use smart machines, auto-scheduling, seasonal planning, and field sensors to make informed decisions, making sure your farming business not only survives, but thrives and grows to serve more and more customers.
“From the start, we wanted Global Farmer to feel like a personal experience. Seeing players often choosing their own backyard to start their venture, every region, big or small, had to feature local nuances and details, to really feel like home,” said Thorsten Feldmann, CEO at Thera Bytes. During the early access period, we’ve taken feedback from players, expanded the core systems, and built a true simulation where every decision has a meaningful impact on the farm, business, and local area. We can’t wait to see what players create, grow, and share in this new chapter.”
Key Features:
- Real-World Locations: Build your farm anywhere on Earth using real map data.
- Dynamic Field Management: Prepare, plant, and harvest across seasons, factoring in soil nutrient values, soil texture, pH values, temperature requirements, sunshine requirements, and weed pressure.
- Crops & Equipment: 26x different crops like soy, peas, wheat or strawberries and 25x necessary machinery to seed, fertilize, and harvest these globally relevant plants.
- Automated Tools & Planning: Smarter equipment handling, auto-scheduling, and sensor-driven field automation make planning intuitive and powerful.
- Repeatable Planting & Timeline Previews: Set up crop cycles to auto-repeat yearly, visualized on clean action timelines.
- Agricultural Buildings & Field Modifiers: Progress through many expensive farming buildings that improve the soil quality of nearby fields, reduce field treatment costs, automatically sell certain crop types for higher prices, and more.
- Map Editor & Steam Workshop Integration: Create, edit, and share maps with the community. Powerful tools to create, modify, and split fields, also during your active gameplay sessions outside the editor.
- Different Measurement Systems and Currencies: Switch between unit types depending on your region, like Metric and Imperial, as well as your preferred currency, featuring the Euro, Dollar, Pound, and Yen
- Enhanced Sound Design: From ambiance on the world globe to animals and construction sounds, immersion is deeper than ever.
From new UI improvements to gameplay refinements and bug fixes, every patch leading up to launch has brought Global Farmer closer to its vision: empowering players to manage farms in a world that feels alive, responsive, and deeply strategic.
