Farming & Supermarket Simulator

Farming & Supermarket Simulator launched into Early Access on April 21, 2025 under its original development team, who published regular updates through July 4, 2025. Development then stalled due to an internal partnership dispute. On June 17, 2026, the original team disclosed the situation publicly: they had sold all rights to a new owner, and the abrupt 1.0 release on August 31, 2025 was a legal formality tied to that ownership transfer, not a genuine content completion milestone. The new studio, EY08 Games, took over and announced themselves on June 22, 2026, publishing a clear two-step roadmap: first, performance improvements and bug fixes to stabilize the game; second, new mechanics, upgrades, and content. They also named cooperative multiplayer as a long-term goal. EY08 Games followed through quickly — on July 17, 2026, they shipped a substantial content update adding new production machines, a new worker character (Alex), Steam Cloud save support, 16 new farm expansions, 8 new supermarket expansions, new craftable items, new plants, and additional language support. Two follow-up bug fix patches arrived on July 20 and July 22, 2026, addressing issues introduced by the new content. The new team is actively delivering on their stated roadmap. The most recent developer communication was on July 22, 2026, and the most recent major content release was on July 17, 2026. No specific next content deliverable has been named, but EY08 Games has clearly committed to continued development and the pattern of rapid, substantive updates since their takeover supports this.
