And what about PC gamers that are lucky enough to have a Steam Deck? Keep on reading and we\u2019ll explain the situation for you.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Which platforms is Stray available on?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At launch, <strong>Stray is available on PS4, PS5 and PC<\/strong>. If you\u2019re playing on one of those platforms, you should be able to buy the game now.<\/p>\n<p>While the physical boxed edition of Stray (available to order at <a href=\"\/\/www.game.co.uk\/en\/stray-2623967&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">GAME<\/a>) isn\u2019t out yet, the digital download can be bought and accessed now via the <a href=\"\/\/www.playstation.com\/en-gb\/games\/stray\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">PlayStation Store<\/a> for console players, or <a href=\"\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1332010\/Stray\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">Steam<\/a> for PC-based gamers.<\/p> <h2><strong>Will Stray ever come to Xbox or Nintendo Switch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It seems very <strong>likely that Stray will come to Xbox and Nintendo Switch<\/strong> consoles eventually, although no Stray release date has been confirmed by either of those console-makers.<\/p>\n<p>Why do we think this is likely? At the end of the game\u2019s first trailer (included below), the small print states that Stray is a PlayStation \u201cconsole exclusive for a limited time\u201d. This heavily implies that the game will be allowed onto other platforms after a certain point in time.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Stray\" teaser=\"\" trailer=\"\" ps5=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u84hRUQlaio?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>When exactly might Stray come to Xbox and Switch, then? As far as we know, timed exclusive agreements can run for any period of time that both parties can agree on, but we\u2019d guess that a year delay is a good bet.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, we\u2019d hope to see Stray on Switch and Xbox in or around\u00a0<strong>July 2023<\/strong>, but that\u2019s pure guesswork on our part. We\u2019ll be sure to update this page if\/when any other platforms are announced.<\/p>\n<p>As for whether Stray will come to Xbox Game Pass or Nintendo Switch Online (or any other subscriptions), we\u2019ll just have to wait and see!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/stray-ps4-ps5-pc-review\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Stray review<\/a> \u2013 our final verdict<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/stray-ps-plus-free-trial\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Is Stray on PS Plus?<\/a> Get a free trial<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/stray-trophy-guide-list\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Stray trophy guide<\/a> \u2013 how to get that Platinum<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/stray-collectables-guide\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Stray collectables<\/a> \u2013 where to find energy drinks and more<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2><strong>Does Stray run on Steam Deck?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re lucky enough to have received your <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/steam-deck-pre-order-buy\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Steam Deck order<\/a>, and you\u2019re keen to play Stray on the go (despite the lack of a Switch or mobile release), you might be wondering if Stray can run on Steam Deck.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s some good news for you: yes, Stray does run on Steam Deck, with the game\u2019s official Steam page marking the game as being \u2018verified\u2019 for use on Steam Deck.
