Giants have released some new videos showing off both Zielonka – the new map coming to Farming Simulator 22 with the Premium Expansion/Edition in November – and some of the new machinery that will be included.
The Premium Edition and the Premium Expansion Pack for Farming Simulator 22 will be released November 14, 2023.
When it rains it pours. Which is probably a bad manner of speech when talking about a farming game. But it is true in the way that after the quite recently released Hay & Forage DLC, it is already time for the next one. The Horsch AgroVation Pack DLC is just around the corner as it will be released on July 25.
The Horsch AgroVation Pack will extend the game with a new map and 14 machines by the renowned German manufacturer.
The map in question is a little special in that it is a copy of Horsch’s own real life AgroVation farm located in Kněžmost, Czech Republic. The faithfully recreated farm layout and environment offers a variation of both small and large fields and various storage buildings. As such it provides excellent surroundings for the fleet of brand-new HORSCH machines that debut in the game.
In total the pack delivers 14 new Horsch machines of different sizes:
The Horsch AgriVation Pack DLC can be pre-ordered now (with a 10% rebate). Those who already have purchased the Year 2 Season Pass will get it as a part of that on the release day.
Giants Software has a big expansion in the plans for Farming Simulator 22. Come November it is time for the Premium Edition of the game to be released – or the equivalent Premium Expansion if you already own the base game.
The Premium version will deliver – among other things – three new crops, a new map named Zielonka with a central-to-eastern European feel, and a slew of new production chains, new brands and new machinery both for the caring for the new crops and more variety in general for the already existing ones.
The new crops will be carrots, red beets and parsnips, so in other words it is time for root crops to get a bit of a renaissance on the virtual fields.
The Premium Edition will contain all the DLCs published up until November, with the exception of the small, one-machine standalone DLCs released.
There will also be a Premium Expansion DLC which will only include the new Premium stuff.
Both the Premium Edition and the Premium Expansion can already be pre-ordered from Giants or Steam. The release day is set to November 14, 2023.
With the latest patch for American Truck Simulator there’s also a new truck coming. The Western Star 5700XE.
It comes in three different main types – a day cab, the 54″ High Roof Stratosphere and the 82″ Ultra High Roof Stratosphere. Chassis available are short, medium and long versions in 6×2 and 6×4. The engines are Detroit Diesels, which offers the options of DD13, DD15 and DD16 up to 600HP.

It has been a year since Farming Simulator 22 premiered and following Giants Software’s traditional release pattern it is now time for the Platinum expansion to arrive. The exact date is set to November 15 and as usual it will arrive both as the complete Farming Simulator 22 Platinum Edition for new users and as an expansion DLC for us who already have the base game.
The Platinum expansion this time has a main focus on forestry and comes with new things to do in-game as well as with new things to use for doing it. It also comes with a new map – Silverrun Forest – which of course will be ideal for testing out the new machinery and methods.
Since it is about forestry the handling of trees have got an overhaul with new tree species, new planting and harvesting methods, and new ways to transport the timber from the forest with the help of winches, loaders and containers.
One of the new things in FS22 – production chains – is developed further by adding new ones (I have counted to eight new factories) and the brand new construction projects. By growing and selling your trees you can help in the construction of big projects such as a rollercoaster (and yes, you will apparently be able to ride it when complete), or making sailing boats at the local wharf.
There will naturally also be new brands showing up in the game. The most well-known probably being Volvo. The Platinum Expansion provides no less than twelve machines from the Swedish brand – from the oldtimer Volvo BM 2654 tractor to the state-of-the-art Volvo FH16 truck and a Volvo L200H wheel loader. There will also be new content from such brands as John Deere, Schwarzmüller, and Komatsu – just to mention a few. A more complete list is to be found at Giants own site.
The Platinum Expansion and Platinum Edition (base game + expansion) will release on November 15th for PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
November 15th is the date for the release of American Truck Simulator’s largest map DLC this far. The state in question is of course the big state of Texas and with this addition to the map it will for the first time be possible to drive from coast to coast – if we count the shore of the Gulf of Mexico as that, that is.
But the fact remains, this is a big DLC. Like everything in Texas.
It’s update time for Farming Simulator 22 again and with that comes some new free content as well.
This time it’s a number of new tractors from the Finnish Valtra brand of which the most novel novelty is the brand new Valtra Q series. But in addition there’s also new added tractors in the A, N and T series.
Since it is an update patch – 1.7.1 to be exact – there’s of course also the usual slew of changes in addition to the new Valtras.
Changes & Improvements
The next update to Valheim will arrive on September 16th and is aptly called Hearth & Home. It will add new building pieces as well as a more differentiated food menu. Both things that most likely will be well received by the player base.
Not that the current system and variation is in any way bad, but it never hurts with more fun items to play with.
You like to work in the forest? Then Farming Simulator 19’s latest DLC may be something for you. The Rottne DLC available for purchase now contains a number of machines and equipment from the Swedish forestry machine brand Rottne.
The latest DLC for Farming Simulator 19 is now available for purchase. This time it is a pack with equipment of the brand Grimme. Everything a potato farmer may need.
