Press release:
Zurich, Switzerland – 26th March 2024.
The Zurich-based (Switzerland) indie games publisher and developer GIANTS Software today announced with great joy and thrill that their family friendly farming sim “Farming Simulator Kids“, is now available for the Nintendo Switch (via the Nintendo Eshop) and mobile devices (iOS and Android).

Taking their first steps on virtual soil, children now learn about the joy and importance of agriculture with “Farming Simulator Kid”s. Sheltered, wholesome, and adorable – that’s what publisher and developer GIANTS Software offers budding little farmers on Nintendo Switch, iPhone, iPad, and Android™ devices.

Providing a safe game to play, the game supports parental controls, relies on visual presentation, and cute aesthetics.

Like a Children’s Book About Farming

Farming Simulator Kids invites young players to live a cozy farm life and enjoy a variety of activities around nature and its produce: Planting and harvesting nutritious crops, taking care of loveable animals, producing and trading countless products like strawberry milk, and more.

With the visual charm of a hand-drawn children’s book, kids are motivated to make their own connections between their discoveries. After learning how plants grow by following simple steps in the field, they get a sense of the value of using crops to make products and trade.

“While the Farming Simulator series is and will remain family-friendly, Farming Simulator Kids is specifically designed for the youngest farmers,” comments Thomas Frey, Creative Director at GIANTS Software.

“It is important for us, as well as for parents, to provide a safe and creative virtual environment where children can play and learn independently.”

Joyfully Exploring Farm-Locations

All this becomes even more fascinating when they get to drive a tractor and put their little colorful avatar behind the wheel of a John Deere machine. The renowned manufacturer was involved in the development from the very beginning. Represented by a number of its iconic machines in a striking green with yellow accents, children may already recognize them from the real fields near their homes.

Several environments are available to explore from the start: The farming house with multiple rooms, the farmland rich with crops, a spacey barn full of animals, and the farmer’s market where little farmers swap and collect items. More are planned for the near future.

Farming Simulator Kids is available for Nintendo Switch, iPhone, iPad, and Android devices via the Nintendo eShop, the App Store, and Google Play, respectively. Visit the official Farming Simulator website and the GIANTS Software press area for more information.
