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

Steal down the streets of the Walled City on your Xbox.

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

It’s definitely a game you will want to play, in VG247’s humble opinion , and don’t just take our word for it: many players out there enjoyed playing the game.

Highly anticipated following its announcement, the game topped Steam’s wishlist charts before 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.

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

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. It was, however, delayed to a mid-year release and finally released on July 19, 2022. Upon release, the developers teamed up with cat charities to save real-life homeless cats.

Stray will be removed from the PS Plus on July 18 , so you might want to play it before it goes away if you are a PlayStation owner.
