The cat’s out the bag! Or so it seems, at least. Per a reliable and oft-cited leaker, Annapurna’s delightful cat-based game, Stray, will be added to the PS Plus Essential Tier next month.

The information comes courtesy of Billbil-kun over on Dealabs, who notes that the gaame will be added to the PS Plus library for all tiers (that’s Essential, Extra and Premium) on November 4. It will be joined by two other games that have not yet been revealed, nor hinted at by Billbil-kun.

The kitty caper – which is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch – is a third-person adventure game that Eurogamer recommended when it four two years ago.

In her Stray review, Lottie said, “Stray captures the essence of being a cat, while delivering a deeper journey through a dying cybercity.

“It’s by doing this – looking at the world through feline eyes – that Stray creates a journey filled with such a sense of exploration, on top of the chance to indulge in as much cat-truction as you like. While doing so, though, it also crafts a touching story about the human desires of those who, at a glance, lack humanity – be it to reunite with a loved one, protect a community or reach the outside world. The result is a wonderful mix: a game about the longing for freedom, clever climbing mechanics, and every cat’s eternal desire to knock items off shelves.”

If you’re keen for more from the feline franchise, we also know that Annapurna Pictures’ animation arm (which produced DNEG Animation’ Nimona), is planning a “respectful” animated adaptation of the fan-favourite cat adventure.
