Farming Simulator 25 announced, with a collector's edition that includes a 'USB ignition lock' that lets you turn a real key to start your virtual tractors

Farming Simulator 25 is launching on November 12, developer Giants Software announced today—but before we get to all the details about the new game and cinematic reveal trailer, I want to talk about something else. Giants also announced that there's a «Collector's Edition» of Farming Simulator 25 which comes with a "USB ignition lock" that lets you insert and turn a real key «to start the engines of in-game tractors.» 

I kinda laughed at this when I saw it, and then I stared at it for a few seconds, and then I realized it's one of those things I never would have thought of but now that I know it exists I kinda absolutely want it. Yes. Give me that, please. I want to take a real key and stick it into a thing on my desk and turn it and have a tractor engine start in a videogame. That'd be satisfying as hell, wouldn't it?

Now that I think about it, that's how I'd like to start everything on my desk. Turning on my lamp? Use a key. Starting my PC? I absolutely want to turn a key to do that, too. Unlocking my iPhone? Okay, that would probably just get annoying. But the other stuff I definitely want keys for.

The Collector's Edition has a few other bonus items, like a keychain (perfect for those keys we just talked about!), a retro soundtrack from composer Chris Hülsbeck, a poster, some stickers, and a few other things that aren't nearly as cool as a fake ignition lock. I don't see a price on it yet (though I've asked and will update when I get one), but the standard version of Farming Simulator 25 is $50 on Steam, with a Year 1 Edition priced at $80, which covers the DLC packs and a map expansion for FS25.

With that out of the way, can we unpack the trailer now? It's a weird one, entirely cinematic with no actual gameplay, though at least we can glean some new features from it. The trailer begins with two farmers intently trying to boil a small pot of rice and failing miserably, so they do
