Simulation Farm 22 has been breaking the series' records since its release in November this year (2021), with 1.5 million copies sold in the first week, Steam online numbers and sales surpassing Battlefield 2042. The latest news shows that players in Europe are particularly fond of this farming game, and the sales of Simulation Farm 22 in Europe exceed many of the blockbusters released in 2021.
Christopher Dring, editor of foreign media GamesIndustry.biz, said on Twitter that his statistical data shows that "Simulation Farm 22" has exceeded sales in Europe this year, and many blockbusters include: "Monster Hunter: Rise", "Extreme Racing: Horizon 5", "Ricky and Ding-Dong: Time-space Jump", etc., which are the blockbuster products of the three major console platforms in 2021.
European players really love "farming", they even have a "farming simulator esports league", the best players from all over Europe get together to see who can "run" the simulation farm better, and the competition also has a prize of up to 100,000 euros (about RMB). It's hard to say why European players prefer "farming", but it is certainly inseparable from the excellent quality of Simulation Farm 22 itself.
