The news is out! According to a trusted and frequently referenced leaker, Annapurna’s charming cat-themed game, Stray, is set to join the PS Plus Essential Tier next month.

This information was shared by Billbil-kun on Dealabs, who revealed that the game will become available to all PS Plus members (Essential, Extra, and Premium) starting November 4. Additionally, it will be accompanied by two other games, details of which remain unannounced.

Stray is a third-person adventure game that can be found on multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch. The game has received favorable reviews since its release two years ago.

In a review, the game was praised for how it captures the essence of being a cat while also offering a deeper narrative set in a decaying cybercity. The review highlighted the unique experience of exploring the world from a feline perspective and enjoying playful antics, while simultaneously weaving a poignant story about human desires—such as reconnecting with loved ones, protecting a community, or yearning for the outside world. The game successfully blends themes of freedom, clever gameplay mechanics, and the inherent cat-like behavior of knocking things off surfaces.

For those eager for more content related to this beloved feline adventure, it’s worth noting that Annapurna Pictures’ animation division is developing a “respectful” animated adaptation of Stray, promising to bring the story to life in a new format.
