The new Highlands Fishing expansion for Farming Simulator 25 adds aquaculture, fishing boats, Highland cattle, onions, and over 20 new machines, letting players farm both land and sea around the Scottish Highlands town of Kinlaig.

Farming Simulator 25 is heading to the Scottish Highlands this fall, as GIANTS Software reels in one of the most requested additions to the series: fishing. The new Highlands Fishing expansion lets players cast off from the shores of Kinlaig, a scenic town inspired by Scotland’s rugged landscapes and winding waterways. Whether you're working the fields, raising Highland cattle, or manning your own fishing boat, aquaculture now takes its place alongside farming traditions. Highlands Fishing will be available as both a standalone Expansion and as part of the new Edition bundle, coming to PC and consoles on November 4.

Farming Simulator 25 gets the fun-kind of fishy with the Highlands Fishing expansion!

  • First major expansion brings aquaculture & highlands map
  • Over 20 new machines for land and sea, including boats
  • New animal types, including fish & new field crop: onions
  • Release scheduled for November 4th on PC & consoles
     

Kinlaig: A Wind-Bitten Environment

Rocky valleys, covered with rough grass and overcast by clouds that stretch far out to sea: Kinlaig, inspired by the Scottish Highlands, prompts farmers and aquaculturists to put to sea and plow the soil in an environment rich with history, enjoying authentic architecture like century-old castles as well as new construction projects.

Diving into Aquaculture, Fishing on the Shore

Fishing both on land and at sea enables aquafarmers to breed, raise, and harvest a variety of fish. Venturing out onto the water offers a new productive way to gather resources and another peaceful escape in addition to fields, forests, and stables. Casual shore fishing, rod in hand, rounds out the peaceful image of life by the water.

Onions, Fish & Highland Cattle

While salmon and rainbow trout populate the salty waters of Kinlaig, a new crop becomes available to grow on the land: Onions. Specialized equipment is included in the expansion and the fleet of vehicles and implements grows with four new brands and over 20 new machines. Manufacturers Monosem, Can-Am, Agri- Spread & GT Bunning join the series.

Farming Simulator 25 is available for PC, Mac, PlayStation5 and Xbox Series X|S. A Year 1 Season Pass is obtainable and includes three packs and the Highlands Fishing Expansion – fans save up to 25% compared to getting the content separately. Farming Simulator 25: Highlands Fishing Edition includes the main game and the expansion and is available for pre-orders at selected channels. GIANTS Software will also continue to release free content updates and user-generated content on the official ModHub. Visit the official Farming Simulator website and the GIANTS Software press area for more information.
