Introduction
Simulator games have taken the gaming world by storm, providing players with the opportunity to immerse themselves in various tasks and jobs. While popular titles like Farming Simulator and Train Simulator have dominated the genre for a long time, there has been a surge of simulation games that aim to offer a satirical take on the genre. One such game that reached the pinnacle of absurdity is Goat Simulator. Initially conceived as a joke, Goat Simulator became a surprise hit, spawning multiple expansions and DLC packs that parodied various gaming tropes and genres. Now, Coffee Stain is back with Goat Simulator 3, promising the most extensive and least realistic goat simulation game ever created. In this article, we’ll delve into all the details about Goat Simulator 3, from its release date to its gameplay and multiplayer features.

Goat Simulator 3 will be available on a wide range of platforms, including PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Unfortunately, Switch owners will miss out on this goat-related mayhem.
Trailers
No, this isn’t a recycled Dead Island 2 trailer. Goat Simulator 3 cleverly parodies the iconic Dead Island sequel trailer from 2014, creating a hilarious shot-for-shot replica. The trailer was a standout moment at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase in 2022.
In another trailer released by Epic, we get a cinematic glimpse into the game. It starts with a first-person perspective of a goat being captured and taken to a farm. The goat retaliates against the farmer’s mistreatment and embarks on an adventurous escape, encountering various peculiar creatures along the way.
Gameplay

Goat Simulator 3 offers an expanded version of the original game, featuring a vast open world filled with physics-based interactions, quests, and exciting locations to explore. The official description encapsulates the lighthearted tone of the game, stating, “Get ready for another round of udder mayhem. Lick, headbutt, and wreak havoc in a brand new open world, making it the ultimate waste of your time since Goat Simulator! There are no rules except in the tutorial; we just provide the means for you to live out your wildest goat fantasies.”
The store page lists several key features, allowing players to embrace the role of not only a goat but also a goldfish. In addition, players can dress up their goats and enjoy a variety of mini-games (which may or may not only be seven). With more NPCs and physics interactions, Goat Simulator 3 promises an even more outrageous and unpredictable gaming experience.
Multiplayer

For the first time, Goat Simulator 3 introduces co-op multiplayer, enabling up to three friends to explore the world together. You can compete in the mini-games, both locally and online. While it’s unclear whether cross-play will be available across all platforms, the addition of multiplayer ensures that you won’t be separated from your goat buddies, regardless of the console.
