Hi!

Here are the big news we announced! Farm Together is now available for Preorder on Xbox One. It will be released on Friday 18th.



Grow your own farm all by yourself, or cooperate with your friends in this unique, relaxing farming experience!

Just to answer the question in advance: No, the game does not feature cross-platform multiplayer between Xbox One and PC. That would need a server infrastructure we just don't have.

More details on the Microsoft Store: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/farm-together/9mxsdjxfzq25

Hi!

This week's main features are the new mini-event, Starry Harvest, and the new Mistletoe Pack!

Starry Harvest


Look at the sky! All those Shooting Stars will help us unlock shiny new items. Hurry! Let's make a wish!

Plenty of Viking-themed content for Farm Together, such as new outfits, decorations and farm items to plant and harvest!


Remember that you can get the content packs with an additional 35% discount if you purchase the Farm Together DLC collection (items you already own are deducted from the price, so it's always the best possible deal!): https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/9059/Farm_Together_DLC_Collection/

Hi! This week marks the beginning of the new event, the Sweet Tooth Festival to celebrate the new year.

The sweetest time of the year has arrived! Plant hundreds of <b>Candy Canes<b> to unlock stunning winter themed items. Ho ho ho!

With this we're taking a short vacation so no updates will be delivered in the following two weeks. We'll still be around on the forums and the Discord channel, but we won't be as active as usual. Enjoy!

Today's Farm Showcase: "Pose Together" by N_58

Hi!



Today's update brings a new animal to the farm, the Ostriches (in 3 possible variations). They are high level animals with medium wait times.

Also, the Christmas event is around the corner! We hope you'll enjoy it and unlock plenty of themed items while having fun!

Honorable mention: "The Blue Lotus" by Holymolie


New features:

• New animals: Ostrich , Emu and Rhea.

Improvements:

• Reduced volume of the tractor's interaction sound so it's not as annoying.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug where favorites/recent players weren't being properly saved depending on how they were favorited (~85% of the cases they weren't saved properly). This would lead to players not showing up as favorites or in the recent/favorites searches.
  This means you'll need to manually add your favorites again, apologies!
