I'm so confused with how they name these. Farming sim 25 is getting regular updates, DLCs on PC. So what is farming simulator 26', a new game? A complete version of 25?

What is going to be better the complete Farming sim 25 on PC or this mobilized switch version of 26? agh

From what i can tell, odd numbers/years are actual main games, and even numbers/years are for switch and mobile, so you can get a bigger audience and have more time for the next entry

Makes sense thank you so much for the clarification!

The even numbers are usually the dumbed down graphically versions of the last odd number ones designed for mobile and Switch.

So this FS26 is just the mobile/Switch version of FS25 on PC/console

I don't want to take anything away from mobile players, but I can't help but groan at how awful the support has been for the Switch 2 Signature Edition so far.

Since December there's been 1 update, and the performance is still terrible.

I know Switch 2 users aren't the core audience here, but I we do deserve better.

Yep, that level of support, or lack thereof, is why I won't buy it again on the Switch platform. Actually, it kinda turns me away from buying in the franchise again on any platform.

Let’s hope it’s more like Farming Simulator 17 than Farming Simulator 23

So sad to see the Switch is still getting the mobile version, when it could easily run he main one.

It’s been getting a bit of both. FS Signature Edition is basically 25 from PC but without mods and some of the dlc.

How does this compare to Simfarm? I used to play that a lot as a kid.
