It sure sounds like this was a lengthy process &#8211; but at least the game is finally back. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2021-02-25-stardew-valley-finally-returns-to-european-playstation-store\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2021-02-25-stardew-valley-finally-returns-to-european-playstation-store\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stardew Valley has had something of an extended trip away from the European PlayStation Store.
