Farming Simulator 25 Concurrent Players on Steam
Players have been lukewarm in their reviews of Farming Simulator 25. The project has developed a "mixed" rating on Steam, with only 64% of reviews being positive. Most users complain about optimization issues, and some are dissatisfied with the lack of significant advances in physics and simulation levels.
*We did not include Banana in the top rankings (over 917,000 concurrent players) because, according to the project's authors themselves, the majority of Banana's audience consists of bots, not real players. Additionally, games like V Rising and Sons of the Forest did not make the list as they reached release in 2024 but peaked in concurrent players during previous years in early access.
