The price is 4,400 yen, and pre-orders open today at retailers and online shops nationwide. The game, developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive, follows a stray cat navigating a decaying cybercity to escape. The Switch 2 version supports high-resolution play in both TV and handheld modes, and it adds mouse operation using Joy-Con 2. The package edition includes a limited bonus: a \"Companions' Alphabet Card\" that lists the in-game language in alphabetical notation, letting players decipher it during play. The jacket is reversible, featuring new artwork by poster artist Matt Taylor. Store-specific bonuses include an acrylic cat tag at Amazon and a mouse pad at GEO. The game is rated CERO B (ages 12 and up) and supports one player with no online play. Happinet releases the title under its Happinet Indie Collection label, which curates indie games from around the world.","whyItMatters":"The package edition marks a physical release for Switch 2, adding a tangible bonus and reversible jacket that appeal to collectors, while the mouse support via Joy-Con 2 highlights a platform-specific feature not present in other versions.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnnapurna Interactive published the original Stray in 2022; the Switch 2 package edition carries a copyright line reading 2022-26 BlueTwelve Studio Ltd.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHappinet\u0026#39;s announcement trailer for the release is titled \u0026#34;Stray Switch2 package edition release announcement trailer [Happinet Indie Collection].\u0026#34;\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe \u0026#34;Companions\u0026#39; Alphabet Card\u0026#34; bonus is described as an \u0026#34;original design card\u0026#34; in the GAME Watch piece, and the card\u0026#39;s contents and specifications may change without notice.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMatt Taylor, who drew the reversible jacket artwork, is described by GAME Watch as a \u0026#34;renowned poster artist.\u0026#34;\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStore-specific bonuses are limited in quantity and will end once supplies run out; inquiries about them go to each retailer, per the official website.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDetails on the store bonuses will be announced on the official website\u0026#39;s bonus page.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4Gamer.net describes the game\u0026#39;s setting as a \u0026#34;cyberpunk-style city\u0026#34; the cat has wandered into, while GAME Watch calls it a \u0026#34;decaying cybercity\u0026#34; where the cat solves ancient mysteries.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Japanese license is held by Happinet Corporation, with the copyright line crediting BlueTwelve Studio and Annapurna Interactive.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Stray's Switch 2 package edition includes a reversible jacket with new art by Matt Taylor, plus a card to decipher the game's fictional language.
