Global Farmer

Global Farmer is a farming simulation game developed by Thera Bytes GmbH and published by Aerosoft GmbH. The game was initially released in Early Access on October 7, 2024, and had its full release on August 14, 2025, for PC via Steam. It offers players the unique opportunity to build and manage farms anywhere in the world using real-world data from OpenStreetMap. This feature allows for a highly customizable farming experience, where players can choose locations ranging from the French countryside to urban parks.

In Global Farmer, players begin by selecting a location on the world map, which is then transformed into a farming landscape using OpenStreetMap data. The game features a top-down perspective, allowing players to build and manage their farms, including constructing buildings, managing crops, and raising livestock. Players must consider various environmental factors, such as soil conditions, weather patterns, and seasonal changes, to optimize their farming operations. Additionally, the game includes a map editor, enabling players to modify existing maps or create new ones, which can be shared with the community via Steam Workshop.

The soundtrack of Global Farmer complements its immersive farming experience, featuring ambient music that enhances the game's atmosphere. While specific details about the composer and the music's composition are limited, the soundtrack is designed to reflect the tranquil and methodical nature of farming life. The sound design also includes environmental sounds, such as animal noises and construction sounds, to further immerse players in the farming environment.

Upon its release, Global Farmer received a range of reviews. Critics and players have praised the game for its innovative use of real-world data and the depth of its farming simulation mechanics. However, some have noted that the game's niche subject matter may not appeal to all audiences. Despite this, the game has found a dedicated player base who appreciate its unique take on the simulation genre. The game's promotion has primarily been through digital platforms and social media, targeting players interested in simulation and management games.
