Lawn Mowing Simulator 2

October 29: employee ranks and comfort settings

Quality of Life Update 1 is live on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox. Employees now rank up on completed contracts; the settings menu adds FOV, sensitivity, First Person Dot and Run by Default, and enables grass-density and unit options. Fixes cover extended weed-trimming crashes, completed-objective display, camera settings between scenes and trailer respawn direction.

Use the starter guide to apply the changes, or the patch notes for the dated fixes. Further achievement fixes remain follow-up work.

What is Lawn Mowing Simulator 2?

Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 is the sequel to Skyhook Games' 2021 mowing sim, and this time the business is American. The developer crowdfunded its way to self-publishing (the Kickstarter closed at £20,022 from 407 backers) and rebuilt the game around player feedback on the original.

The pitch: run a lawn-care company across 11 USA locations — suburban lawns through commercial and municipal contracts — using licensed machines from Kubota, STIGA and SCAG. Career mode gets a full overhaul: a 3D, fully explorable headquarters you run the business from, deeper character customisation, and new job types like leaf blowing and weed clearance alongside the mowing itself.

It released September 23, 2026 on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam Deck. US store price is $29.99 (EU 24,99€, UK £21.99) with no launch discount. Patches have flowed since Patch 1 (25 Sep): Patch 2 (29 Sep) fixed the demo-save issues and added a pause-menu Respawn, and the 30 Sep all-platform patch finished the console fixes. The Steam demo is temporarily down while Skyhook investigates a save-data issue.
