"Stray" Is Confirmed for Release on Nintendo Switch!
Nintendo HomepageIt was announced that "Stray," where a cat explores a cybercity and which is already available on PS5, PS4, and Steam, will be released for the Nintendo Switch in winter 2024. Players can now experience an adventure set in a cybercity, reminiscent of a sci-fi world, on the Nintendo Switch!
The Story of a Cat Lost in a Cybercity
Nintendo HomepageThe protagonist of the story is a cat. While enjoying a peaceful daily life with its family, it was suddenly caught in an accident when the ground collapsed, causing it to fall deep underground. However, what lay deep underground was an unfamiliar cybercity surrounded by neon.

As the cat, completely lost, explored the area, a mysterious sign appeared. More signs appeared one after another, guiding the cat along paths only a cat could take.
Nintendo HomepageWhat awaited at the end of the signs was a drone named "B-12," which would help the cat on its journey.
The Cybercity is Full of Robots and Hidden Dangers
Nintendo HomepageNo humans can be found in this cybercity, no matter how much you explore. All residents in the city were robots—including shop clerks, bartenders, security guards, and street musicians.
Nintendo HomepageThe cat wants to talk to the robots, but naturally, a cat cannot converse with them. That is where B-12 comes in. As a drone, B-12 translates the robots' words so the cat can understand them. With B-12's help, the cat communicates with the robots and searches for clues on how to return to the surface.
Nintendo HomepageHowever, the city is not safe, and dangers lurk. Stepping into the wrong areas can sometimes lead to attacks by mysterious creatures. Therefore, while gathering information, the cat must evade these mysterious creatures by hiding in the shadows or jumping to high places.
Nintendo HomepageThe cat and the robot are on a grand adventure, which involves running from mysterious creatures, talking to robots, and sometimes performing cute cat-like actions. As the story progresses, however, the secrets hidden within the underground city and B-12 are gradually revealed. Will the cat be able to escape the underground and return to the surface?
