Farming Simulator 25 is launching on November 12, developer Giants Software announced today—but before we get to all the details about the new game and cinematic reveal trailer, I want to talk about something else. Giants also announced that there's a «Collector's Edition» of Farming Simulator 25 which comes with a "USB ignition lock" that lets you insert and turn a real key «to start the engines of in-game tractors.»
