An adventure designed around a cat
BlueTwelve producer Swann Martin-Raget used PlayStation's June 2022 release announcement to describe the long development of Stray, originally known as HK Project. The July 19, 2022 date applied to its PS4 and PS5 debut. The account emphasized bringing both the city and its feline protagonist to life.
A premise is not a verdict on whether every reader must play the game. The useful question is whether exploring an unfamiliar city from a cat's perspective sounds appealing. This is a historical introduction, not a review based on an invented NewsCubby playthrough.

A follow-up developer article identified Murtaugh, a cofounder's cat and a former stray, as a principal inspiration. The playable character itself is an unnamed stray. Separating the real animal's name from the fictional protagonist avoids a common misunderstanding about the game's lead.
The original announcement also described PlayStation Plus access at launch. Subscription catalogs change, so that dated offer should not be treated as a current entitlement. Check the present storefront or your account's catalog before buying a subscription for a particular game.
