There really is a simulator game for everything, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Menial jobs make for surprisingly compelling gameplay experiences, and Lawn Mowing Simulator will put that theory to the test as it trundles onto PlayStation 5 and PS4 today. Surprise!
As the name suggests, the game tasks you with mowing virtual grass across an idyllic English countryside setting. Games of this ilk — Farming Simulator and SnowRunner to name a couple — have a uniquely relaxing, satisfying appeal, and this title aims to apply that to lawn mowing. We're here for it.
This being a simulator, it takes itself relatively seriously. Real-world brands are represented, and you'll need to adjust blade height, check the ground for obstructions, and utilise extra tools like grass collectors and stripe rollers — all in the name of achieving a perfectly trimmed lawn. There's also a business management side to it, as you gradually build up a lawn mowing company by investing in larger buildings, better equipment, and more.
Lawn Mowing Simulator has been available on other platforms for a while, but it's now out on Sony's systems for £15.99 / $19.99 / €19.99. Will you be keeping your garden in top condition with Lawn Mowing Simulator on PS5 and PS4? Take the ride-on lawnmower to the comments section below.

Ha! "Lawnch"
lolol
You know, I played this a stupid amount on Xbox... there was something vaguely therapeutic about just cutting grass whilst listening to music.
Bit early for April fools
For this, people have to pay. If they mow my laen, They will get money from me. Stop playing, start working
The grass in the screenshots looks like the hair simulation in Blender with a grass texture.
It's so weird.
i live in south texas , cutting the grass every other day because it’s summer 9 months outta the year is enough for me .
maybe a snow shoveling simulator or something would work for me , lol
@velio84 hah , Astros Playroom will always hold that title .
>Surprise Lawnch
Totally in love with those wordplays on Push Square.
I have a robot mower, I hate cutting the grass but this looks great. Headphones in. Chill out.
We have finally hit the pinnacle of gaming!
Cant wait to Platinum it! And question my life choices at the same time…
@Stocksy My robomower got hit by a car. Now it has a nylon leash it chews up everytime it runs it over.
Are you sure that Snowrunner is relaxing? Ok maybe it is unless you tip your truck and then tip the one you used to rescue the first one?
I tried this on XBOX and gave up on the first level! It show give us the complete task at 80% grass because ain't no way I'm wasting 10 more minutes (after spending 20+) going around finding the small patches of grass to cut.
Can't wait until this comes to PS+/Essential or whatever it's gonna be called
I hope there's a secret ending where you make crop circles and summon aliens.
@Max_the_German Maybe you should learn how to spell "lawn" before berating others.
I don't need a Lawn Mowing Simulator on my PlayStation as I have my rather big real world Lawn already 😂😂
@Zemo55 I don't think he's being serious but yeah it's hard to tell.
I don’t have any interest in this game but the headlines and sub-headlines on this website are top notch. Keep up the stellar creativity!
@Zemo55 Aye aye, sir!
Stephen goddamn it
@RubyCarbuncle not that you're bragging or anything. XD
but Farming Simulator does this & so much more!
This is a weird idea for a game. I can’t wait to hear what kind of numbers it does.
Plot twist, online players are remote controlling actual lawn mowers cutting actual lawns in this dystopian 2022 version of Enders game.
I'm instantly thinking of Jeff Minter's Hover Bovver on the C64!
I will be eternally confused to why this game was a gamepass playstation exclusion exclusives, or even why Microsoft feels the need to do that🤷🏼♂️
Definitely a day one purchase for Forrest Gump. I will wait for when it's a Plus game.
Lawn mower simulator has a heritage oddly. On the spectrum it gained a lot of fame for being the supposed worst game ever. Though it was only made as a joke, trying to be the worst game ever.
No idea if this current one is in on the joke too.
Edit : and my targetted ad for this article is a lawnmower! Nice
i play alot of sims spent hour on this last night there is alot to it as sims go its a good 8
I played quite a lot of this in my mowing off-season on Xbox. I always listen to Sacred Symbols while mowing, so over the winter I put this game in and listened to my podcast once a week. As previously stated, it’s a nice, relaxing game.
@Balosi yes, Your Sinclair “reviewed” Advanced Lawnmower Sim in their April issue (hmmmm… no coincidence PS “reviewed” it today at all - although it IS in the PS store!)
ALS spent a good few months / years as a running joke before ending up on a cover tape for all us Spec-Chums to enjoy.
When do we get this version on PS+? 😉
