We finally know when 'Stray' is coming to Nintendo Switch, but are preorders live?

On Aug. 8, Annapurna Interactive announced that 'Stray' will be coming to Nintendo Switch consoles on Nov. 19. Preorders aren't live yet, but they most likely will be soon.

Great news, cat lovers (and anyone who likes video games). The beloved dystopian feline adventure, Stray, is coming to the Nintendo Switch on Nov. 19. Announced by Annapurna Interactive on Aug. 8, which also happens to be International Cat Day, the award-winning game will be fully ported over to the popular handheld in all of its glory in just a few short months. It's unclear if this version will launch with any bonus content or extras at the moment, but we don't expect it to.

The debut title from BlueTwelve Studio released back in July of 2022 and was met with critical acclaim for its creativity, engaging puzzles, and overall cuteness. In it, you step into the paws of a nameless cat that is separated from its other cat friends and dumped into a cyberpunk-style city. Through exploration, platforming, and puzzle-solving, you'll have to find your own way out if you want to be reunited with your buddies. Although the situation isn't ideal, you'll still have the opportunity to partake in plenty of relaxing cat activities along your journey, like scratching random objects and taking short-but-frequent naps.

When can you pre-order Stray on the Nintendo Switch?

At the time of writing, Stray's Nintendo Switch port is not yet available to pre-order. But, we assume it will be in the coming weeks ahead of the Nov. 19 release date. If you feel like you can't wait until then and don't absolutely need to play it on a handheld console, the game is currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and MacOS.
