Stardew Valley: cross-buy and cross-save

Q: Does Stardew Valley have cross-buy?

Unconfirmed. No source states that buying on one store gives access on another.

Q: Does Stardew Valley have cross-save?

Partly. You can copy saves by hand between PC, Mac and mobile. Steam and GOG copies on one PC share a save folder. The wiki says Switch saves need custom firmware to reach, and staff say console saves cannot move to other platforms.

There is no built-in cross-save. You can copy saves by hand between PC, Mac and mobile, but not from consoles.

The wiki is community-run, not the developer's site, and the staff forum reply dates from 2020. I found no developer statement on whether a purchase on one store covers another.
