Farming Simulator 2017 will get getting a host of updates over the coming months, and the second of these has just been released. We'll post all of the changes made with each patch here, and will then update the article as and when new patch notes are released.

The latest game in the franchise from Giants and publisher Focus Home Interactive seems to have been widely well received thus far selling over 1 million copies in record time. Update 1.3.1 carries on the work of patch 1.2.1 to bring more bug fixes, visual changes and optimizations to both the Mac and PC clients.

Following in the footsteps of patch 1.2.1, Farming Simulator 17's newest update doesn't bring much in the way of new content.
