Farming Simulator 17 is something of a revelation for the series. It is the first game to reach 1 million players in just under a month, which is twice the number of sales that the game has had in any previous entry at launch. Over the last two years, the series has sold over 3 million copies and continues to grow in popularity (most likely thanks to the simulator craze).
Farming Simulator 17 currently stands at a positive user rating of 93% on Steam and has moved over 220,000 digital copies on the platform. Most of the game's sales have been via the PC crowd, with many actually buying the game in-store, particularly in France and Germany.
Thomas Frey, Creative Director from developer GIANTS Software said:
"Reaching one million players in such a short amount of time is simply amazing. It makes us very happy to see that Farming Simulator 17 is being received so well after all the work we've put in the game and the additional people we brought on board to make our largest project ever come to life." "In our publisher Focus Home Interactive, we have a great partner who fully supports our vision of creating a game that lives up to the expectations of our passionate community throughout all stages of development and release, which led to this success."
Farming Simulator 17 is also well known for its strong mod support which managed to make its way to PS4 even before the likes of Skyrim and Fallout 4.
Farming Simulator 17 is available now for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
