March 2025 marked a pivotal moment in the history of Farming Simulator 25. With the NEXAT Pack, released on 11 March 2025, GIANTS Software has introduced not just another vehicle pack, but an entirely new concept to the world of farming simulation. The expansion is all about efficiency, innovation, and a forward-looking vision for arable farming. The modular NEXAT system is neither a conventional tractor nor a combine harvester – it is a platform that unites every step from tillage and seeding to fertilising and harvesting in a single, transformable system.
In the real world, the NEXAT system is often described as the “Transformers of agriculture”. It replaces multiple machines, reduces ground pressure, and can be equipped with purpose-built modules to handle almost any task in the field. GIANTS Software has brought this concept to Farming Simulator with impressive attention to detail, opening a new chapter for anyone who loves cutting-edge technology and large-scale farming.
With the NEXAT Pack, you get not only new machinery but also a new way to farm. Players who are passionate about boosting efficiency, automation, and high-tech agriculture will be in their element. The update demonstrates how Farming Simulator continues to balance realistic simulation with accessibility – while keeping pace with real-world agriculture.
NEXAT system: Modular machinery in Farming Simulator 25
The centrepiece of the DLC is the NEXAT system itself, playable for the first time in Farming Simulator 25. It is a self-propelled, modular machine developed in reality by NEXAT GmbH. In the game, this vehicle serves as a universal carrier to which different modules can be attached – including ploughs, seeders, fertiliser spreaders, and combine headers.
In practice, the concept proves to be a genuine game-changer. Instead of owning several vehicles and switching between them, players can now complete every task with a single system. The modular design is represented through an intuitive coupling system where the vehicle automatically detects the installed module and activates the relevant functions.
Particularly impressive is the switch between work and transport modes. In field mode, the NEXAT system deploys its enormous working width; in road transport mode, it folds compactly to travel realistically on tracks and roads. GIANTS Software has paid close attention to details such as hydraulic movements, folding animations, and authentic sound effects, making the experience feel especially realistic.
Working widths, efficiency, and soil care in the NEXAT DLC
The NEXAT Pack introduces machines whose scale surpasses anything seen before. With working widths of over 12 metres for tillage and more than 20 metres for seeding, it is clear how strongly the system is geared towards maximum efficiency. On large maps with expansive fields, the pack truly comes into its own – this is where you can feel the power of the NEXAT system.
In practice, that means fewer passes, lower diesel consumption, and significantly reduced soil compaction thanks to operation in a Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) system. This environmental aspect has been implemented not only visually by GIANTS Software but also in gameplay terms. Players with soil compaction enabled will find that fields maintain their quality for longer under NEXAT operation and require less maintenance.
The pace of work is equally convincing. Especially during sowing and harvesting, you save enormous time without the simulation ever feeling unrealistic. The balance between efficiency and realism is superbly judged, showing the high level of polish that has gone into this DLC.
NEXAT modules in FS25: Cultivator, seeder, fertiliser, and harvest
The NEXAT Pack delivers not only the carrier vehicle but also a full range of compatible modules. They cover the key agricultural workflows and are available in different variants. Highlights include:
- NEXAT Cultivator Module: A high-performance cultivator optimised for large areas, enabling soil preparation in record time.
- NEXAT Seeder Module: A modular seeding unit offering impressive precision and an even seedbed, ideal for cereals and rapeseed.
- NEXAT Fertilizer Module: Combines mineral fertilisation with wide coverage – perfect for efficiency enthusiasts.
- NEXAT Harvester Module: The standout for many players – a header with a 14-metre working width and an integrated unloading system that revolutionises harvesting.
Each module features its own animations, sound effects, and visual details. Players experience seamless transitions between tasks, just like in a smart farm. GIANTS Software has managed to integrate a highly complex system into clear, fluid gameplay that meshes neatly with existing mechanics.
Graphics, sound, and realism in the NEXAT Pack
The visual execution of the NEXAT Pack is among the most impressive the Farming Simulator series has ever seen. The futuristic design of the vehicle, with its asymmetrical cab, massive wheels, and distinctive contours, has been perfectly translated into the game. Add to that realistic lighting, reflections, and the machine’s characteristic hydraulic behaviour.
In combination with the enhanced lighting and shadow effects of Farming Simulator 25, the result is striking. When the NEXAT crosses a field at sunset and dust particles dance in the light, it is not just technology – it is almost art.
The sound also deserves praise: the deep-throated power unit that briefly growls on start-up before settling smoothly into working revs creates a highly authentic atmosphere. GIANTS Software has captured and integrated the original sounds of the NEXAT – a detail enthusiasts will appreciate.
Challenges, logistics, and new gameplay mechanics
Introducing the NEXAT system brings new challenges for players. Its enormous working width demands adjusted field planning – small plots or tight corners become genuine obstacles. To unlock the machine’s full potential, focus on large-scale farming.
The vehicle’s size also calls for precise logistics planning. Unloading operations, turning manoeuvres, and transport routes need careful thought. In combination with Courseplay or GPS/Guidance Steering mods, the system opens up new dimensions of automation.
Maintenance plays a bigger role as well. The NEXAT is expensive to purchase, but its versatility offsets the cost over time. GIANTS Software has created a well-balanced economy, where efficiency and investment are in a realistic relationship.
Multiplayer in FS25: NEXAT coordination and teamwork
In multiplayer, the NEXAT Pack delivers a completely new feel. Teams can coordinate work on vast fields, with one player operating the NEXAT while others handle transport and logistics. Clear division of labour creates synergies that make co-op play especially rewarding.
This system is particularly suited to dedicated servers. Because the vehicle combines multiple workflows, organisation becomes more efficient, fieldwork smoother, and team progress faster. That makes the NEXAT Pack an ideal expansion for large multiplayer communities aiming for realistic collaboration.
Sustainability and a vision of the future: NEXAT in Farming Simulator
The NEXAT Pack is more than just another DLC – it is a vision of modern agriculture. If you enjoy high-tech and precision, you will feel at home straight away. At the same time, the system showcases sustainable, soil-friendly farming, adding an educational element to Farming Simulator.
It powerfully demonstrates how GIANTS Software brings real innovations into the digital space, expanding understanding of modern agri-tech. Between real-world progress and playful fascination emerges an experience that is as instructive as it is entertaining.
Verdict on the NEXAT Pack in Farming Simulator 25
With the NEXAT Pack, GIANTS Software once again shows why Farming Simulator 25 sets the benchmark for farming simulations. The modular architecture, impressive engineering, and realistic execution make this DLC one of the most exciting updates in the series. If you love large machines, precise workflows, and technological innovation, this is a true highlight.
The blend of efficiency, design, and fun convinces across the board. Especially in multiplayer or on dedicated servers, the NEXAT system unleashes its full potential – ideal for players who want to tackle massive projects together.
If you want to get the most out of the new system, you should definitely run your own Farming Simulator server with 4Netplayers. Only then can you combine performance, stability, and bespoke settings to best effect – and enjoy the high-tech farming experience at its very best.
