Stray pounces onto Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in August

we knew Lost was coming to Xbox, thanks to an ESRB rating, but now we know exactly when we can play as the sweet tabby cat on Microsoft’s system: August 10.

It’s definitely a game you’ll want to play, in VG247’s humble opinion, and don’t just take our word for it – a lot of gamers enjoyed playing the game.

Highly anticipated upon its announcement, the game topped Steam wish lists prior to release and broke its publisher’s record for concurrent Steam players upon release, with over 62,000 players. It also became the highest user-rated game of the year on the platform.

It was also the most downloaded PS4 and PS5 game in North America as of July 2022 and had the most players on PlayStation Plus in the twelve months following the service’s June 2022 rebrand. it was available for free to PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers. It is estimated that around 4.5 million played the game on PlayStation.

Nominated in multiple categories in 2022, Stray returned home with Best Indie Game and Best Indie Debut at The Game Awards 2022. It was also nominated for three DICE Awards and multiple BAFTA Awards.

Developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive, Stray was announced in 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4, and PS5 for an early 2022 release. However, it was pushed back to a mid-year release, finally releasing on July 19. 2022. Upon launch, the developers partnered with cat charities to save real-life homeless cats.

Stray will be removed from PS Plus on July 18, so you might want to play it before it’s gone if you own a PlayStation.
