Farming Simulator 25 Patch 1.18.0.0 Notes (14th April 2026)
Free Content Update #5 arrives for Farming Simulator 25 with two new machines and a batch of long-overdue fixes for multiplayer bale visibility and Precision Farming.
Free Content Update #5 for Farming Simulator 25 is out today, and it's a decent drop. Two new machines headline the release: the Kramer KT 557 telehandler, built for heavy-duty agricultural and construction work with a Deutz engine, and the Berthoud WIN'AIR, a compact trailed sprayer aimed squarely at vineyard and orchard players who need precise application in tight spaces. Neither is flashy, but both fill gaps in the equipment roster.
Beyond the hardware, the underlying Patch 1.17 changelog tackles some annoying issues. The invisible bales bug in multiplayer is fixed, which anyone who's spent time searching a field for a bale that technically exists will appreciate. Precision Farming also gets meaningful attention, with invisible pH values corrected, tramline generation improved, and several UI performance hits ironed out during harvesting and mowing. Guidance steering course generation has been improved too, which should make large field passes less frustrating.
GIANT Software notes that the patch is rolling out across platforms gradually, so crossplay may be briefly disrupted while it propagates. The complete notes are below.
