If you jumped into Stray<\/a> immediately after it came out, you may well have reached the Stray ending already. After all, the game is only five or so hours long.<\/p>\n

Unlike a lot of modern games, Stray does not have an open-ended final act that lets you keep on playing after the main story has wrapped up. Once the credits roll, the game is well and truly over.<\/p>\n

If you want to go back to pick up some more Stray collectables<\/a> and earn a few extra Stray trophies<\/a>, you\u2019ll have to reload a previous chapter (just try to load your game the way you normally would, and you\u2019ll see a \u2018chapter select\u2019 option).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve seen the Stray ending, then, we\u2019re here to answer your key questions. Keep on reading and we\u2019ll run through them!\u00a0Stray spoilers from this point onwards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Stray ending explained: What happens to B-12?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Things do not exactly end well for B-12, your trusty robot companion in Stray. In the final Control Room chapter, B-12 works out that the processing power it takes to override the system and open up the city will fry his little drone body.<\/p>\n

B-12 does it anyway. He works with the cat to hack\/smash into the computers in the Control Room, receiving an almighty series of electronic zaps along the way. Unable to keep going, his drone body falls to the ground. B-12 appears to die, and the cat sleeps next to his lifeless robot body for a while.<\/p>\n

This player was hoping that B-12\u2019s garbled technobabble voice would emerge from one of the computers, revealing that B-12 survived and transferred his consciousness to a different kind of hardware. Sadly, though, nothing like this happens and we are left to assume that B-12 is really dead.<\/p>

This is doubly sad when you consider that B-12\u2019s consciousness came from the mind of a long-dead human scientist. We didn\u2019t meet any other humans in the game, which does suggest that B-12\u2019s passing may have marked the official ending of the human race. That being said, for all we know, there could be more humans\/consciousnesses surviving in other parts of the world.<\/p>\n

But still, we\u2019ll never forget B-12\u2019s heroic sacrifice. He wanted to escape the city and pass on his human knowledge, but in his final moments, B-12 said that he trusts the robot companions and animals like the cat to keep the planet going in his wake. Perhaps we\u2019ll see what that looks like if a Stray sequel ever happens.<\/p>\n
