NPR recently caught up with Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone, who addressed the game’s future.
There are two sides to the coin here. First, Barone acknowledged that he has some caution as overloading the game with too much content, which could be “detrimental”.

Going forward, we’ll be using this post to keep track of Switch physical release reprint / restock updates at VGP.
