It looks like PlayStation console exclusive Stray is coming to Xbox according to a recently discovered ESRB rating. The beloved platformer was originally released for PC, PS4, and PS5 last year, and it has been a massive hit for Sony thanks to its unique premise. Having broken Annapurna Interactive's concurrent player record on Steam, it has received a line of accessories themed around its feline protagonist.Stray is one of the best games for animal lovers. The game makes players feel what it's like to live as an adorable cat in a neon-themed world. Although platformer games with animals as the protagonist are nothing new to players, Stray is thought to be superior to many others thanks to its cutting-edge graphics, refreshing world, and gameplay.Spotted by reliable Xbox insider Klobrille on Twitter, a new ESRB rating suggests that Stray will finally be released on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. No further details, including a firm release date, have been given yet. Stray was first launched as a timed PlayStation and PC exclusive last year. If this ESRB rating is accurate, Xbox players can expect to try BlueTwelve Studios' hit platformer on their consoles.
A concrete release date for Stray could be revealed at the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase, where Microsoft will share the latest news about its projects. Considering an ESRB rating usually appears toward the end of a game's development, Stray's Xbox release could be sooner than expected.
Video game exclusivity deals have been a subject of debate for quite some time, and some of them have upset players due to their reliance on certain platforms. Recently, Sony criticized Microsoft for its decision to release Starfield exclusively on Xbox. Other controversial platform-exclusive games also include Bayonetta 2 and Bloodborne.
Stray has been nominated for a number of awards in different categories and played by millions of players all over the world. The indie platformer made an impression on players by introducing a post-apocalyptic world filled with intriguing discoveries, and it will be interesting to see if it's as warmly-received on Xbox as it has been on PC and PlayStation.
Stray is currently available to play on PC, PS4, and PS5.
