Pretty much the hit game of the moment, Stray is the talk of social media, with gamers all over the world enthralled by the sci-fi cat game.
You may have noticed that PlayStation has been heavily involved in the social media hype for the game, but what platforms is the game actually available on?
If you’re an Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, or Nintendo Switch owner, you might be wondering if your console of choice can run Stray. And what about PC gamers who are lucky enough to have a Steam Deck? Keep reading and we’ll explain the situation.
What platforms is Stray available on?
At launch, Stray is available on PS4, PS5 and PC. If you play on one of these platforms, you should be able to purchase the game now.
While the physical boxed edition of Stray (available to order at GAME) is not yet out, the digital download can be purchased and accessed now via the PlayStation Store for console players or Steam for PC-based gamers.

Will Stray ever come to Xbox or Nintendo Switch?
It seems very likely that Stray will come to the Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles eventually, although a release date for Stray has not been confirmed by either of those console manufacturers.
Why do we think this is likely? At the end of the game’s first trailer (embedded below), the fine print states that Stray is a “limited-time console exclusive” for PlayStation. This pretty much means that the game will be allowed on other platforms after a certain point in time.
So when exactly can Stray come to Xbox and Switch? As far as we know, fixed-term exclusive agreements can last for any length of time both parties can agree to, but we’d guess a one-year delay is a good bet.
With that in mind, we’d hope to see Stray on Switch and Xbox in or around July 2023, but that’s pure speculation on our part. We’ll be sure to update this page if/when other platforms are announced.
As for whether Stray will come to Xbox Game Pass or Nintendo Switch Online (or other subscriptions), we’ll just have to wait and see!

Does Stray work on Steam Deck?
If you’re lucky enough to have received your Steam Deck order and want to play Stray on the go (despite the lack of a Switch or mobile version), you might be wondering if Stray can run on Steam Deck.
Here’s some good news for you: yes, Stray does work on Steam Deck, with the game’s official Steam page marking the game as “confirmed” for use on Steam Deck. So you should be able to run it on Valve’s massive laptop if you have one. The video below proves it!
