Happy International Cat Day to all of you cat lovers out there! And as an extra special treat, Annapurna has given us a release date for BlueTwelve studio's sneaky, stealthy, and adorable adventure game Stray on Nintendo Switch.
Releasing on Switch on 19th November, Stray is an award-winning adventure game where you play as a cute little kitty cat. But this cat has big paws to fill — it has to uncover an ancient mystery hidden within a huge, neon-lit cybercity. Yeah, it's catpunk, baby. Or cybercat? Well, the cat isn't cyber... you get it.
The cat makes friends with B-12, a drone, and the pair must work together to escape the city. Stray earned tons of praise for its realistic cat animations and unusual premise, and it was even up for Game of the Year at the 2022 Game Awards. it didn't manage to win that, but it did earn best Independent Game and Best Debut Indie Game.
The Switch version was revealed during the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, and while it looks a little muddy, we're still excited to see this little moggy meow its way onto Switch.
Are you excited to play Stray on Switch? Make biscuits and settle down in the comments.

Looking forward to my discounted physical copy even though I won't play it anytime soon since I've already at least watched a let's play of Stray not that long ago!
Straying onto Switch just in time for the holiday rush!
Loved it on Xbox, never finished it, thought. Definitely gonna give this game another go on Switch. (P.S. I don't care what the graphics enthusiasts say)
the switch version looks rough...
So blurry...but I also think Little Kitty, Big City scratched this itch and ran great on Switch.
I could never finish this game, it was fun at first but started losing interest after a while...
This is one of very few games that I feel like I just shouldn't play on Switch. I'm interested in it more for the visuals and atmosphere than anything else, so a platform that forces them to compromise those aspects seems like a bad fit.
Amazing game really recommend it, but can't avoid thinking that I got a better looking version included day-one 2 years ago in my PS subscription and this 2 year old with lower quality version has a price tag.... Just shows how lame my Switch online subscription is.
Played it on PS4 thoroughly enjoyed it. Is there a physical version for the Switch?
Stray is a great little gem and one those experiences that is distinctly video games. The cat simulator aspect of it is really strong and the narrative has its moments too.
Price has gone down on Steam over time. Seeing how rough it looks here, I think I'll get it on PC instead, cause if I did get it on Switch, it would be physical, and I'm not paying full price if the game looks so compromised. I don't really need it to be portable in this case.
Intriguing premise. Annapurna publishes some interesting games at times. Hopefully this will get a review.
@BoFiS I recently finished Big City Little Kitty and it was great. But this looks on a whole different level. I am interested, but will wait to see how reviewers judge the visuals. I can hope.
This game is really good, I've played through it twice, and I assume this will be like all the "miracle port" games in it being impressive running on the little Switch, yet will still be the worst way to play.
Tabby cat supremacy!
Need this game but
NEED A PHYSICAL, PLEASE!!!
@GravyThief @Bunkerneath I've been able to preorder it so unless my retailer here in Italy made a mistake there should be a physical release and even more so since apparently Playasia also has it for several regions: https://www.play-asia.com/stray/13/70hd4z!
I already have the PS5 version with 60 fps performance so i don't think i will get the Switch version that have worse performance.
Even Stray on PS4 version was 30 fps.
