[Insert cat pun here]
Let your mind wander back to summer 2022. This period saw the release of a newXenoblade Chroniclesafter five years of waiting. The anticipated reboot ofSaints Rowwas a huge let-down for many. But among all these was BlueTwelve Studio’sStray, a dystopian-looking adventure game that lets you control a cat lost in the city.
It was very well-received (in fact, we nominated it forBest PlayStation Game of 2022, putting it up against such titans asElden RingandGod of War: Ragnarok), so you Xbox owners might be interested to know that Stray is coming to Series X/S on August 10. This information was revealed at the recent showcase for Annapurna Interactive, the publisher behind the game.

While we were pretty certain thatStraywould be coming to Xbox, it’s nice that it’s finally been confirmed. What’s interesting about this announcement is that it’s also coming to Xbox One, so if you’re still on previous-gen consoles, you’re in luck.
Curiosity…did something to the cat
In an era of remasters, remakes, reboots, sequels, and prequels, the likes of Stray provide something a little different. I mean, who among us wouldn’t want the chance to take control of a cat on an exciting (if somewhat gritty) adventure?
When it launched last year, it was available on PC and PlayStation, so a lot of you Xbox users out there were probably hoping you’d get to play it at some point. The fact that the game hasn’t been in the public eye much this year (if at all) means that this Xbox announcement could renew interest across the board.
So, just to reiterate:Straywill be available on the Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One this August 10.
