There are hopes that Stray could come to other platforms in the future, as it’s currently only listed as a timed limited console exclusive.Īt the end of the game’s teaser trailer from back in 2020, there was a message which said the game would be a PlayStation console exclusive for a limited time. The Switch has become a treasure trove of indie titles and one of the most popular platforms to host them regarding audience retention and notice.
