The latest entry in Giants Software's Farming Simulator has shifted 1.5 million copies so far.

The studio said that Farming Simulator 22 sold this many units within its first week, following its launch on November 22nd. According to SteamDB, the title has reached a peak of 96,402 concurrent users since its release and was the best-selling game on Steam last week.

"I'm so proud of the team and the prospering environment it thrives in," Christian Ammann, Giants Software CEO, said.

"Being able to successfully build international structures to transfer an already huge series like Farming Simulator into a self-published brand with new impulses is not to take for granted. The great collaboration with our partners ensured a fantastic launch."

Acting head of publishing Boris Stefan added: “The initial success of this first week and the great feedback we got from players proves: Farming Simulator is going in the right direction. Our plan to lead and manage all aspects of publishing communications to achieve the company's strategic goals was met“.
