The developers of Flight Simulator 2024 are committed to fixing the game’s graphical glitches and simulation features as a priority. The updates are more consistent compared to Farming Simulator 25 and attempt to fix the issues the community has highlighted to make the game perform better.

Realism

Tie

Both games are realistic simulators and each excels in certain things. For instance, Flight Simulator 2024 includes realistic interiors of the plane and the landscapes look real. In addition, scenarios such as engine failures are also handled well in the game and, while they can’t match the genuine feeling, they do offer some semblance of realism.

Similarly, Farming Simulator 25 displays realism in how the crops grow on the farm. Weather and especially water is another element that the game showcases realistically. If your fields get flooded, you can even see the realistic movement of the water. This is why, in this instance, both games are tied and each has elements that are real and captivating.

Graphics

Flight Simulator 2024

The graphics of Farming Simulator 25 are great, especially the game’s handling of the in-game weather. You can go outside into the fields in the morning and see realistic fog or experience an unexpected natural disaster. Some glitches and some textures feel off, but that is a given with a game like Farming Simulator 25. The developer has tried to show even simple details such as tire tracks on the ground as you drive your tractor across the field.

However, Flight Simulator 2024 is even better as the series is known for its graphical prowess. Whether you’re flying in the sky or taking a picture of a beautiful sight, the game is a graphical masterpiece. The cities you can see and the lighting of the game make the sights all the more mesmerizing.

Gameplay

Farming Simulator 25

Simulators in general provide a variety of ways people can play the game and Farming Simulator 25 is the perfect example. You can decide exactly what you want to do. You can raise animals, or let AI do the work while you supervise the farm. If you want a more hands-on approach, you can do the laboring around the farm. The main objective is to ensure the farm is profitable, so as long as you are making money, you can do things however you see fit. There’s a lot of variety in Farming Simulator 25’s gameplay, ensuring you don’t get bored.

In Flight Simulator 2024, you start by flying passengers from one point to another and while the game gradually differentiates the missions, you might feel things getting mundane. The easiest missions are the photo challenges, where you are required to fly to a destination, pause the flight, and then take a picture. There’s no end goal to the game, causing quick burn-outs.

Performance

Farming Simulator 25

Flight Simulator 2024 is more demanding for the system because of its intricate graphical details and realistic weather simulation. Even high-end systems may notice performance drops because of the more demand the game puts on the system. The game simulates how a plane flies and to mimic that, it needs more power, which puts an extra load on the system. Tweaking the settings may help make the performance a little better.

The performance of Farming Simulator 25 is significantly less complex than the aerial necessities of Flight Simulator 25. While Farming Simulator 25 doesn’t let you visit the Empire State Building or fly over the Great Pyramids of Giza, it ensures accessibility by having relatively low minimum specification requirements.

Mods Support

Farming Simulator 25

The Farming Simulator series has received a lot of love from the community over the years and Farming Simulator 25 is no different. Mods showed up for the game almost instantly once it was released and the mod support is still strong. The fact that mods from one alliteration to another don’t change much makes it easier for the modders to continue supporting the game.

This isn’t to say Flight Simulator 2024 doesn’t have mods or the community doesn’t support the game, but compared to the former, it has less. Flight Simulator 2024’s demanding requirements and one-note gameplay loop make it tough for fans to create mods.

Platforms

Farming Simulator 25

One of the first things usually asked about a game is which platforms it’s playable on. Farming Simulator 25 wins by being available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Not only is it more accessible than its flying counterpart, but the game also supports cross-platform play between all platforms.

Flight Simulator 2024 is available for PC and Xbox Series X/S, but doesn’t support Sony’s console. This can be a deal-breaker if you own a PlayStation 5, since the first-party Xbox game is exclusive for Xbox consoles, at least for now.

Price

Farming Simulator 25

Farming Simulator 25 is cheaper on all platforms compared to Flight Simulator 2024. On Steam, Farming Simulator 25 is priced at USD 32.99. On the other hand, Flight Simulator 2024 is priced at USD 69.99 for the standard version on Steam.

This isn’t to say that everyone paid the full price for Flight Simulator 2024. The game is available to play through Xbox’s Game Pass subscription. However, if you like taking your time playing games without the pressure of your subscription expiring, you’ll likely want to straight up purchase the game.
