Stray's Release Date Announcement
Sony revealed additional gameplay for the game at its State of Play event alongside an official release date planned for July 19, 2022. This release date was discussed further in a blog post by BlueTwelve Studio. The game will be released for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The event also revealed that Stray would be available on PlayStation Plus upon launch, and members of the "extra" tier and above will have immediate access to the game.
