Farming Simulator 25 servers are coming soon

Every Farming Simulator 25 server needs its own game licence, and GIANTS only allows commercial servers through its hosting partners. FS25 opens on Wilderack once GIANTS approves us as a hosting partner. These guides are ready for the day we open.

Join the FS25 waitlist

Players join a Farming Simulator 25 server from the game’s own multiplayer list: open Multiplayer, choose Join Game, search for the server’s name and enter the game password. There’s no way to type an address, so a clear server name matters.

What every player needs

  • Their own copy of Farming Simulator 25, on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S. Licences are single-user, so two people can’t play together on one key.
  • The same game version as the server. After a patch, players update their game. On Wilderack, the server updates to new versions by default.
  • The same mods as the server. The game offers to download missing mods when you join.
  • Every DLC the server uses. DLC can’t be downloaded from the server, so each player must own it.

Your server’s name and address

Players find your server by the server name you set in Settings, not by its address. The address card on Overview still shows the address and port, like greenacres.play.wilderack.com:31042. Our support team may ask for it, but players never type it.

Make the name easy to search for. A short, unusual word works better than “Farm Server”.

Join on PC or Mac

  1. Start Farming Simulator 25 and choose Multiplayer.
  2. Choose Join Game.
  3. Type your server’s name in the search, or look through the list.
  4. Select the server and confirm.
  5. If it asks, type the game password.
  6. If the server uses mods you don’t have, accept the download and wait.
  7. Once you’re in, pick a farm to join from the in-game menu.

Join on PlayStation 5 or Xbox

Console players use the same Multiplayer > Join Game list. They can join a PC-hosted server through crossplay, with two limits:

  • Mods: console players can only join servers whose mods are all available to consoles on ModHub. GIANTS has used this rule since Farming Simulator 22. A single PC-only mod keeps them out.
  • DLC: they must own every DLC the server uses, the same as PC players.

If console friends can’t join, check your mods first. Some ModHub mods come in a separate crossplay version that works for everyone.

Server passwords

There are two passwords, both set in Settings:

Password Who needs it What it does
Game password Everyone who joins Keeps strangers out. Leave it empty for an open server
Admin password Your trusted admins Unlocks admin powers once someone has joined

Players type the game password when they join. Admins log in with the admin password from the in-game menu, as shown in making yourself admin.

Showing in the multiplayer list

Your server shows up in the list while it’s running. It may take a minute or two after a start. If you can’t find it:

  • Check that Overview shows the server as Running.
  • Search for part of the name instead of the full name.
  • Clear any filters in the list, such as ones that hide servers with passwords or mods.
  • Make sure your game is updated. Servers on another game version may not show or may not let you in.

If your server is asleep

Farming Simulator 25 servers stay awake by default. If you turned on sleep under Settings > Sleep, the server leaves the multiplayer list while it sleeps, and nobody can join it to wake it.

To wake it, open the wake link, play.wilderack.com/w/greenacres, and select the wake button. Then wait a few minutes. Farming Simulator 25 takes one to four minutes to start, so give it time before you search the list. Share the link with your friends in Discord so they can wake it too.

Questions

Can I join a Farming Simulator 25 server by IP address?

No. Farming Simulator 25 has no join-by-address option. Players open Multiplayer, then Join Game, and search for the server's name.

Why can't my console friends join my Farming Simulator 25 server?

Console players can only join servers whose mods are all available to consoles on ModHub. Remove PC-only mods or swap them for their crossplay versions. Console players also need every DLC the server uses.

Do my friends need my mods to join?

Yes, everyone needs the same mods. The game offers to download missing mods when a player joins. DLC is different, because every player must own the DLC the server uses.
