SEGA Corporation has announced that the agricultural simulation game "Farming Simulator 26" will be released for Nintendo Switch™, with the digital version launching on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, and the physical version on Thursday, May 21.
This title is the successor to the Nintendo Switch software "Farming Simulator 23: Nintendo Switch Edition" released in 2023. With the newly introduced "Challenge System," it provides an agricultural experience where players can feel their own growth more tangibly while taking on a variety of tasks.
〇Expanding Agricultural Experience with Two New Maps
Players can enjoy farm management on two new maps set in Europe and North America. The newly introduced Challenge System also functions as an optional guide, allowing players to experience a series of workflows such as "transporting wheat to the mill and producing cakes at the bakery." Additionally, players can earn rewards by completing weekly and seasonal challenges.
〇Engage in a Wide Variety of Farm Management
In this title, players can freely build their farms according to their preferences. In addition to working the fields while growing 15 types of crops, players can enjoy various agricultural experiences, such as forestry work using large machinery and taking care of livestock like cows, sheep, chickens, and goats. Furthermore, the addition of new production chains and logistics elements realizes deeper, more highly strategic gameplay.
〇Features Many Real Machines from Global Manufacturers
Many globally acclaimed agricultural machinery manufacturers appear, including the Japanese company Kubota, as well as Case IH, CLAAS, DEUTZ-FAHR, Fendt, John Deere, KRONE, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, and Valtra! Operate over 120 types of tractors, harvesters, sprayers, and more, and enjoy an authentic agricultural experience on the Nintendo Switch.
〇Evolved for Easier Playability
With improvements to the GPS guidance function and tutorials, it is now possible to play more comfortably even on the Nintendo Switch. While designed so that even beginners can smoothly get into the game, it provides an experience that all players can relax and enjoy.
