About
Giants Software is the development studio behind the highly successful Farming Simulator series. They developed key early entries in the franchise, including Farming Simulator 2012 3D, Farming Simulator 2013, and Farming Simulator 14, establishing a popular niche in agricultural simulation gaming across multiple platforms.
Founded in Switzerland in 2004, the developer utilized its proprietary GIANTS Engine to power these releases, allowing for physics-based soil cultivation, harvesting mechanics, and vehicle handling. With Farming Simulator 2012 3D (2012), the studio adapted its agricultural gameplay for the Nintendo 3DS, introducing portable 3D depth to crop management.
The release of Farming Simulator (2013) and Farming Simulator 2013 (2013) marked a major expansion onto home consoles, including the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, as well as the PlayStation Vita. These versions integrated licensed machinery from prominent agricultural brands and introduced online cooperative multiplayer, allowing players to manage farms together.
To capture the growing mobile gaming market, the studio released Farming Simulator 14 (2013) for iOS and Android, later bringing Farming Simulator 14 (2014) to the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita. This iteration streamlined the user interface for touchscreens while maintaining core gameplay loops like mowing, tedding, and windrowing. Through these specific titles, the developer established a global publishing network and a dedicated modding community that sustained the franchise's longevity.
