The kitty cat adventure Stray has been handed a 19th July 2022 release date on PS5, PS4 and Steam. Sony has confirmed that the game will be available as part of the PS Plus Extra, Deluxe and Premium game library from day one.
Check out a new gameplay trailer
Stray takes place in a decaying cybercity, following a cat that has found himself in this city after being separated from his family and injured. You’ll have to explore and survive, navigating the world with cat-like leaps and solving puzzles that are in your way, seemingly doing so by just messing stuff up and knocking things over. Classic cat.
Along its journey, the cat will meet a small drone named B-12 that will expand the cat’s horizons, able to interact with parts of the world that a cat could not and also speak with its inhabitants – human-like robots that will react to the cat’s presence in various ways.
There’s also dangers in this world that you’ll have to vaoid by using speed, agility and stealth. Eventually, you will retrieve a light-based ability that can also strike back at the little orb-like creatures that would hunt you.
Stray was announced in June 2020 at the PlayStation 5 reveal event, as one of several indie titles that really caught people’s imaginations. The above gameplay demo certainly focusses on the darker, grimier parts of the city, but the reveal trailer was often much more vibrant and colourful.
One thing is for certain, we can’t wait to see and play the final game. Cats are great.

Looks good, is on my wish list, and it was, again, the most interesting game of last night’s show, which I found quite ok overall.
