Popular new brand at the agricultural dealership: With Kubota, Farming Simulator 22 offers its fans another licensed brand to extend their fleet of farming machinery. Publisher and developer GIANTS Software released the Kubota Pack with eleven new vehicles and tools today. It’s now available on PC, Mac and consoles, and is included in the Year 1 Season Pass and is available as a world-wide digital release with boxed PC versions available in selected regions. A launch trailer (download here) shows off the new machines and tools as well as a new feature for multiplayer fans.

Also featured are a wheel loader, a skid-steer loader, two utility vehicles with room for your friends in the passenger seats in online multiplayer, and other machines and tools by Kubota.

Adding a fan-request to the virtual garage
“By adding Kubota to the ensemble of agricultural brands within our series, we offer our dedicated fans another international big player they have been asking for”, comments Thomas Frey, Vice President of Business Development at GIANTS Software. “We are delighted to partner with this historic manufacturer whose engines power a variety of today’s farming operations all over the world.”
 
“We’ve been fielding inquiries from the #KubotaCountry community asking when they will be able to use Kubota equipment in Farming Simulator,” says John Lee, Marketing Director, Kubota Tractor Corporation. “As Kubota celebrates 50 years in the U.S. this year, timing for Farming Simulator 22 couldn’t be better. We continue to expand our product lines, building on our long legacy of engineering innovative equipment that delivers a range of durable, quality-built machines ready to handle tough tasks in agricultural, construction, commercial turf and residential settings. It makes sense for us to reach out to new potential customers in virtual settings to show them what our equipment is capable of."

Farming Simulator 22 is available for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 (PS5™), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Stadia. A Year 1 Season Pass is available, extending the game with even more content in the future – the Kubota Pack is included.
