Stray Xbox port wanders into the ESRB ratings, flops onto its side

Kit-E-Kat… That’s Livin’*

Annapurna’s sci-fi kitty adventure Stray is seemingly headed to the Xbox platform, at least according to the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), which has uploaded a listing for a new port the award-winning dystopian tale, currently available on PlayStation and PC platforms.

First spotted by Twitter user MACOS380, (and reported thereafter by VGC), the ESRB rating all but confirms that the interesting and unique release will be headed to Xbox One and Xbox Series X at some point in the near future, bringing the futuristic feline’s adventures to a wider audience. Annapurna Interactive is yet to announce an Xbox port of Stray, but the revelation of the rating may mean that one is imminent.

Released in the summer of 2022, Stray, sees the player guide an inquisitive kitty through a miserable walled city, devastated by an A.I. run amok and abandoned by all human citizens. Utilizing deft movement, adaptation, and ingenuity, the moggy embarks upon a quest to reach the surface of the city, aided by a robot drone, B-12, and threatened by the city’s security droids and a mysterious, sentient bacteria known as “Zurk”. Stray was praised on release for its world-building, animation, and uniqueness, as well as its ability to tell a deep and complex tale through minimal dialogue.

Stray is available right meow on PlayStation and PC platforms.
