Note written 2026-08-22; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.
Farming Simulator 15 is a 2014 agricultural management and equipment simulation with light strategy and customization elements.
FS15 remains a quiet earner at $1,989/mo residual revenue on a decade-old title, with 92% positive sentiment and 996k lifetime units sold. The 75% still-playing ratio and median 16.75-hour playtime suggest a retained niche audience, but lack of developer engagement since mid-2022 and only 59 current players signal stagnation. For a legacy-catalog acquirer or publisher seeking evergreen simulation IP with minimal maintenance overhead, the franchise upside (GIANTS now operates 7 titles) outweighs the specific appeal of this aging entry. Most realistic play: acquisition.
- Risk: 2014 engine and UX will not compete with FS22/FS25 or attract new players; audience is grandfathered in and unlikely to grow.
- Risk: Developer has been silent for ~120 months; critical bugs or deprecation on modern Steam clients could erode the residual revenue floor.
- Risk: No workshop, cloud save only recently reliable, and limited mod ecosystem compared to later sequels limits engagement momentum.
