Lawn Mowing Simulator 2: launch trailer unveils grass 2.0

The new Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 trailer bets everything on a simple argument: your lawn has never looked so real. Skyhook Games finally shows off its grass technology rebuilt from scratch, with millions of blades simulated per terrain.

The video runs through shots of lawns with varying heights and textures. In practical terms, that means reading the terrain by eye to adjust cutting height and speed, a bit like reading the ground in a racing game. We also see the new leaf collection contracts arrive: literally thousands of leaves to blow and vacuum before leaving a spotless garden. A clever little detail: locations change between two visits - a new flower bed, a pool or a flagpole can appear, so the grind doesn't become too repetitive.

Compared to the first gameplay sequences shown in recent months, this trailer marks a real visual leap in the grass rendering, which was previously more generic. This is also the first time we get such a clear look at the fully explorable HQ, where you manage contracts, employees and a fleet of real-licensed equipment.

The game will be playable at the PAX West 2026 booth (September 4-7 in Seattle) ahead of its release on PS5, Xbox Series and PC (Steam and Microsoft Store) on September 23. For full details on the release date and platforms, see our dedicated article.
