Evaluation

Professional Farmer: Cattle and Crops launched as version 1.0 on October 15, 2020, after a lengthy Early Access period. At launch, the developer (Masterbrain Bytes) stated explicitly: "This is just the beginning!" and outlined ambitious post-launch plans including a new southern Germany map, additional crops (canola, oats, sunflowers), multiplayer, and console ports. Following the 1.0 launch, the game received a steady stream of updates through early 2021: a feature patch on November 13, 2020; a major Christmas update (v1.1.0.8) on December 17, 2020 adding new machines, tire physics, and machine maintenance; another feature patch on February 12, 2021; and a significant soil system overhaul (v1.3.0) on March 22, 2021, followed by a performance update (v1.3.5) on March 30, 2021. The last developer communication on record is the March 30, 2021 performance patch. After that date, no further news posts, major updates, announcements, or developer statements appear in the available record — a silence now spanning well over four years as of June 2026. The ambitious content plans announced in January 2021 (new map, new crops, multiplayer) were never marked as delivered or cancelled, but given the extended silence and the lack of any further developer activity, it appears development wound down after the March 2021 updates without those goals being fulfilled. The game has only one DLC — a "Digital Supporter Pack" released on the same day as the 1.0 launch — and no unreleased DLC entries. The store description contains no language suggesting ongoing or future content. There is no Season Pass with unfulfilled items. With no developer communication since March 30, 2021 and no outstanding concrete commitments visible in the store, the game's content development appears to have concluded around that final update.
Evidence
Major soil system overhaul (v1.3.0) released, adding soil types, soil conditions, yield factors, new machines, and PTO connections — a substantial content update.

Professional Farmer: Cattle and Crops takes you out into the countryside and impresses with its depth and attention to detail! Experience how exciting being a farmer can be. Work your fields with original machines or coordinate these tasks with your workers. Bringing in the harvest, caring for animals, and getting the cycle of food production going are hard, but also satisfying tasks of a farmer. Follow your vocation as a farmer with all the challenging and beautiful aspects modern farming has to offer: detailed machinery; authentic sowing; fertilizing and harvetsting; livestock management; and realistic weather and nature conditions.

Professional Farmer: Cattle and Crops is the ultimate farming simulation with a unique and unrivaled level of detail.


  • Detailed machines with realistic vehicle physics and many functions
  • Convenient vehicle control with versatile functions, controllable via a radial menu and the quickbar


  • Plant growth based on correct fertilization with nutrients (mineral and organic fertilisers: nitrogen, phosphate, potassium)
  • Grassland tasks (mowing, turning, windrowing, baling) with realistic drying of field grass
  • Physical bale handling, collecting and stacking of square bales with the front loader
  • Weather simulated on the basis of real weather data with influence on soil and crop growth
  • Dynamic fields affected with lanes and tracks created by machinery that remain even after saved scores
  • Support for steering wheels and controllers




  • Intelligent helper system: supporting staff who can control the machines autonomously over the field and road and take over tasks from a comprehensive calendar-based planning system
  • Management of employees for cooperative tasks


  • Extensive tutorials that provide an easy introduction to the game
  • Scenarios that provide comprehensive insight and background knowledge about agriculture
  • To produce a simulation that is as realistic as possible MBB worked in close cooperation with the national agricultural publisher Landwirtschaftsverlag Münster
