This is information that console players are waiting for. How many slots will they have for installing Farming Simulator 22 mods on the PS4, Xbox One, PS5 and Xbox Series S / X. And all platforms are not in the same boat.
"We have increased console slots by up to 300%" boasts Giants Software on the game's blog. Good news for all those who play on consoles. Whether you're playing on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, Xbox One or Xbox Series S / X, all platforms benefit from a higher number of available slots. This means that you can have even more vehicles, tools and other items on your farm.
Slots are a way for developers to manage system resources. Remember, I told you about it in this video on our Youtube channel. On PC, the problem does not arise, and the only limitation is the power of your configuration. On consoles, Sony and Microsoft impose restrictions on RAM management that developers must follow. And we know that for FS 22, Giants Software has "optimized" its game, which should be less greedy, thus freeing up more "slots".
Since an image is better than a long speech, here's what to expect depending on your console:
As you can see above, Farming Simulator 19 on old-gen consoles had 1299 slots available. Farming Simulator 22, on the same consoles, will allow 2749 locations, more than double! For the current generation consoles, that is to say the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, 5155 slots will be available.
The general optimization of Farming Simulator 22 compared to 19 is therefore obvious. Giants Software gives as an example the Claas Axion above, which should take up 70% less space on this new installment of the game.
