This latest patch addresses a number of bugs players have encountered since the feline simulator debuted last month. Stray immediately bounded into the spotlight upon its release, thanks not only to its unique premise but also being part of Sony’s PlayStation Plus lineup.

In our Stray review, Tuffcub fell in love with the quirky adventure game, scoring it a near purrrrfect 10:
Stray has been right at the top of my gaming wishlist since it was announced in June 2020. It fits that PlayStation exclusive mold of off kilter games with weird concepts but blessed with a glossy polish – think Death Stranding, Heavy Rain, and the like – and while Stray is much smaller than both those titles, clocking in around ten to twelve hours to finish, it is just a lavish and utterly charming.
It’s rare to find a unique game these days but that’s just what Stray is. Playing as a cat makes you, well, play as a cat. Sure, you can go and find that doohickey for the next quest, but there’s some flower pots over on that shelf that are just begging to be swiped to the floor.
Stay tuned for more news on Stray and PS5 updates.
