Farming Simulator 2011: your farm on real machinery
Farming Simulator 2011 is a calm agriculture sim by the Swiss studio Giants Software, originally released in October 2010 and one of the entries that pushed the series into the mainstream. There's no shooting and no timers here — just a field, a tractor, and the quiet satisfaction of turning bare soil into a profitable farm. You get the game as a Steam gift — it simply lands in your library, and you get straight behind the wheel.
What you actually do
The loop is simple and moreish: plough a field, sow a crop, wait for it to grow, harvest it with a combine, haul the grain to the market — and spend the profit on bigger machinery or a new field. Over time your farm expands, you add livestock, trailers and heavier equipment, and soon you're juggling several processes at once. It's a meditative kind of gameplay that's easy to sink an evening into.
Real licensed machinery
The signature feature of Farming Simulator 2011 is genuine farm-equipment brands. You drive tractors and harvesters from John Deere, Lamborghini, Krone, Poettinger and other real manufacturers, recreated as recognisable models. For machinery fans that's a treat on its own: each vehicle handles differently, and picking the right machine for the job is part of the fun.
What's included in this gift
You get the full base version of Farming Simulator 2011 for Steam. The game has separate add-ons — the Equipment Pack machinery sets and the Farming Classics pack of vintage retro vehicles, released between 2010 and 2012. Those are standalone DLC: they're not part of the base gift, but you can buy them on Steam once the game is in your library if you want. So start with the base — it's plenty to get into farming — and add the packs later if you crave more machines.
How you receive the gift
It's about as simple as it gets, with no fiddling with codes. After payment our bot adds you as a friend itself — you don't need to accept any friend request manually, the bot handles that. It then sends you Farming Simulator 2011 as a Steam gift, you accept the gift into your library, and after that the bot removes itself from your friends. No Steam Guard is required to receive the gift. Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes after payment.
What to check beforehand
To make sure the gift goes through smoothly, keep a couple of things in mind. First, the region of your Steam account must match the region of the gift — otherwise Steam won't let you accept it. Second, Farming Simulator 2011 must not already be in your library: a gift can't be accepted for a game you already own, the system won't let a duplicate through. With both in order, accepting the gift takes a few seconds.
A farm that grows with you
You start small: a couple of machines, a modest field and a bit of cash. Where it goes from there is up to how you run things. You can focus on grain crops — wheat, corn, rapeseed — or gradually assemble a whole fleet and work several plots at once. Crops don't grow instantly: they need tending, with ploughing, sowing and harvesting done on time, or the season is wasted. That unhurried pace is exactly what makes the game so cosy — you're not chasing records, you're building a steady farm at your own speed.
Economy and the right machine for the job
Money matters a lot in Farming Simulator 2011. Early on you have to choose: invest in a powerful combine to harvest faster, or first expand your fleet of tractors and trailers. Every machine costs real money and fills a specific role — one for ploughing, another for sowing, a third for hauling grain. Over time you get a feel for which piece of equipment suits which job and start planning purchases ahead. It's light but satisfying management that never overwhelms yet keeps pulling you back.
Relaxed gameplay with no pressure
Unlike most games, there's no fail state, no enemies and no timer breathing down your neck. You decide what to do each in-game day: plough a new plot, buy machinery, drive around the farm, or simply tidy up the operation. That format is perfect for unwinding after work — the background music, the hum of the engine and the neat furrows across the field are almost therapeutic.
What you need to run it
Farming Simulator 2011 is a 2010 game, so it's light on hardware and runs comfortably on practically any modern or even older Windows PC. All you need is the Steam client installed and an account for the gift to arrive on. Once the game is in your library, you can download and reinstall it as many times as you like — it's tied to your Steam account for good.
Exactly what you get from us
You get Farming Simulator 2011 as a Steam gift that stays in your library for good. This isn't a rental or temporary access. There are no codes to enter and no personal data needed from you — the bot adds itself as a friend, sends the gift, you accept it, and that's it. Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes after payment, and you can play as soon as the download finishes.
Who it's for
Farming Simulator 2011 is for anyone who wants a break from shooters and competitive games, loves machinery and relaxed management. If you enjoy the series, check out the newer entries too: Farming Simulator 2013, Farming Simulator 2015 and Farming Simulator 17 — they bring more machinery, crops and options, but the farming spirit is the same.
