Last update: 24 May 2024
On this page, you will find information about the DLCs for Farming Simulator 22 - their content, known release dates, and their availability in Season Passes.
The developers of Farming Simulator 22 have announced already before the game's release that DLC content will be available. The first DLC, Precision Farming is currently planned for the first quarter of 2022. The DLC will focus on the broadly understood optimization of farming. The expansion is known from FS19, but in this release it is supposed to be slightly improved and affect the realism and changes in crop productivity.
Season Pass
Additionally, a Season Pass will also be available at release, and it will grant access to further DLCs that will come out in the future. Free DLCs can also be expected every now and then, just like in the case of the previous installment in the series. The first Season Pass (year-long) will grant access to:
- Pack 1: Winter 2021/22
- Pack 2: Spring 2022
- Pack 3: Summer 2022
- Big DLC: End of 2022
The content of the first packs was not officially disclosed. However, we know from the announcement that one of the first DLCs will include Precision Farming known from FS19.
How to install DLCs?
People who use platforms such as Steam, which allow you to automatically install the purchased content, won't have problems with installing new DLCs. Those who have the game on a disc or purchased directly from the publisher can purchase DLCs on the developer's website. They will be available for download via ModHub - that is, the additional content manager available after starting the game from the main menu.
The fourth menu item allows you to search DLCs (both free and paid) offered by GIANTS Software. If you wish to purchase any, you will be redirected to the developer's website.
DLCs downloaded from the developer's website through the browser are in the .zip format. To install them, move the entire archive to:
C:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2022\mods
The game shouldn't be running in the background during this process. You can also install other modifications downloaded from external sources in a similar way.
Precision Farming
The first DLC introduces many changes which slightly affect the complexity and realism of gameplay. There are many types of soil. To check the condition of the soil, you need to take samples and analyze them - you need to do it yourself with the right equipment. The quality of the soil will slightly affect the amount of harvest. Usually, one field will consist of more than one type of soil, with varied distribution. Sample analysis is not free.
The changes don't end here: each field has its of fertilization requirements (nitrogen condensation in the soil) and a pH level, which can be affected with lime. Due to the increased complexity and the many details that require attention, the DLC was not included in the base gameplay.
Season Pass Year 1
The first season pass was met with great dissatisfaction of the players. As part of its content, the developers presented DLCs that increase the number of vehicles of the specified brands, but they do not offer additional functionality. The largest DLC scheduled for November 15, 2022 was Platinum Expansion, which offers a new map, additional missions and production chains. Season Pass Year 1 includes the following DLCs (which you can also purchase individually):
- Zetor 25 K,
- ANTONIO CARRARO Pack,
- KUBOTA Pack,
- Vermeer Pack,
- ERO Grapeliner Series 7000,
- Platinum Expansion.
