‘Stray’ Rated for the Xbox Series, Xbox One
Xbox fans feeling that they missed out on Annapurna Interactive and BlueTwelve Studio’s Stray appear to be in luck. The ESRB has rated the dystopian cat adventure for the Xbox Series and Xbox One. No release date has been announced as of yet.
Stray is set in a future where humans have presumably gone extinct, and what remains of society is run by machines. Oh yes, and cats are still around. One such cat is the game’s protagonist, which has become separated from its family, and is trying to find a way out of the city. Along the way, you’ll be untangling an “ancient mystery”.
Eventually, the cat meets up with and befriends a small flying drone called B12. B12 will assist the player in solving the puzzles you’ll come across on your journey. Players will also defend against unforeseen threats and solve the mysteries of this decaying cybercity inhabited by nothing but unassuming droids and dangerous creatures.
Stray was released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam back in July of last year. There was also a physical edition for the PlayStation version from iam8bit, alongside a copy of the game’s soundtrack on vinyl. Fingers crossed that the Xbox version of Stray would get a similar physical release.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
