Before your first session
LMS2 is currently pre-release on Steam, with a demo available. Steam lists single-player. Exact final controls, progression and unlocks are not verified yet.
Three useful primers
Learn the mowing goal, clear edges with a string trimmer, then understand the tarp-and-bag leaf workflow. This is a learning path, not an official required order.
What the demo cannot confirm
Full career economy, the complete equipment roster, location names, unlocks and final controls remain unverified.
