In the spirit of National Cat Day’s feline festivities, publisher Annapurna Interactive has announced that cat-led adventure game Stray will finally arrive on Nintendo Switch on November 19, 2024.
After more than two years since the game first released on PS5, players on the Nintendo Switch will be able to pad their way through the dystopian world, acting out their grand cat dreams of balancing on walls, knocking things off shelves, meowing for no reason, tripping people up, and running from security drones – typical cat shenanigans.
Stray Nintendo Switch release date
The Nintendo Switch version of Stray will be released on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.
Originally released on PS4, PS5, and PC back in July 2022, Stray featured impressive visuals and an immersive atmosphere, with distinct themes of isolation and loneliness, as well as community. In it, you play as an orange cat who, after falling down into a dingy cyberpunk realm of sentient robots, partners with a small drone in an attempt to make their way back upwards and home.
Their journey sees them assisting the local robots while evading sinister alien lifeforms and hounding sentry drones. As they climb ever higher, they have the chance to discover what left the world in its current state, and perhaps even improve things for the robotic lifeforms left within it. Stray also features a dedicated meow button, which makes it an essential experience for all cat-obsessed gamers.
In August 2023, Stray pounced over to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. A Switch port was announced during a Nintendo Direct back in June 2024, and now we have a concrete date for fans to anticipate. It’s likely that the Switch version will suffer visually compared to other platforms, but hopefully it can still capture (or cat-pture?) the same sense of dystopian beauty and feline mischief.
If Stray scurrying onto Nintendo Switch has you keen to experience the digital animal world even sooner, you can always enjoy the best wildlife-spotting games until November 19 rolls around.
