Can Your PC Run Stray?

pcmag.com:

Stray(Opens in a new window) is an adventure game where you play as a cat trying to reunite with its family in a cyberpunk dystopia. If that hasn’t already sold you on the title, nothing will. The only thing that remains is to find out if your PC can boot and run this highly unusual PC game. 

In an industry full of generic, violent, and ugly shooters, Stray’s offbeat premise is enough to garner attention. Unusual simulations inspire creative gameplay mechanics, and playing as an animal is an especially clever way to mix up how players interact with the world. The cyberpunk setting, full of robots and deadly viruses, creates an appropriately oppressive backdrop for our petite, feline hero. After the Cyberpunk 2077 debacle, fans are eager to see that aesthetic given justice. 

Stray also has a good pedigree. It’s developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive, the gaming division of the independent film studio and publisher of recent indie darlings like Kentucky Route Zero, What Remains of Edith Finch, and the recent Neon White. 

Stray is a $29.99 PC game that you can buy via Steam(Opens in a new window) starting on July 19. The game also launches on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 that same day.
