Hands-on the wheel, eyes on the soil
Strapped into one of Meta’s virtual reality headsets, farmers cultivate their fields with profitable crops like corn, wheat & soybean. Of course, they operate authentic agricultural machinery from renowned manufacturers such as Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere & others – directly from the detailed cabins of these powerful agricultural vehicles.
Looking at details, with an impact wrench in hand
Virtual farmers will not only hang out in the cab of their tractor or harvester, they will also get up close and personal with the machines during maintenance: Equipped with an electric impact wrench, they must regularly maintain their machines in the workshop, replace parts, and keep them squeaky-clean through the pleasure of power-washing them in the yard.
Grabbing vegetables in the greenhouse
In addition to farming in the fields, players can also grow various crops in greenhouses. Tomatoes, eggplant, strawberries, and other crops can be picked by hand and placed in crates to be sold.
Farming Simulator VR will be available on Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 3S, and Meta Quest Pro on February 28th.
