2022's indie hit Stray is finally making the jump to Nintendo Switch on 19th November, and, wouldn't you know it, a physical edition will be available on the very same day.
This physical release is a collaboration between Annapurna Interactive and Skybound Games, and it's no code-in-a-box job either. The boxed copy contains a game cartridge (yay!) and six full-colour art cards featuring our feline hero, its drone buddy and more familiar faces from the decaying cybercity.
Annapurna Interactive has announced that the physical release is now available to pre-order from select retailers for $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 ahead of its full release next month.

For those who didn't try out this kitty adventure in 2022, Stray sees you play as an adorable little cat, exploring a grimy underground city with the hopes of one day reuniting with its pals on the surface. There's a drone with a mysterious past, plenty of platforming and a dedicated 'meow' button to really nail the cat vibes.
From what we've seen in trailers so far, the Switch version looks a little muddy compared to the PlayStation and Xbox counterparts, but we'll be excited to see how it runs when this cat adventure leaps onto the Nintendo hybrid next month.
Will you be picking up this physical next month? Let us know in the comments.

Purrfect, a physical release!
But this also reminds me of the undoing of Annapurna, which remains unexplained.
I'm all for as many games as possible being ported to the Switch but the visual hit is a little rough when I think the visuals/atmosphere is one of the main things it has going for it. I felt the gameplay was alright but nothing special really, but I dunno if that's just me.
Fastest pre-order I've ever made.
Glad to see they're releasing this without issues despite what happened at Annapurna, looking forward to my discounted physical copy!
glad to see this available on retail. I'm sick of this Super Ultra (Warned) Collectors Very Special Mega Rare Limited Games with extra stickers and FOMO.
Definitely wanna get this.
Really nice to see that it isn't a code in the box.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
Not available on Amazon UK yet, but UK normally keeps pre-orders to nearer the date of release for some silly reason
Looks like this game is straying onto Switch sooner than I thought!
Had this on ps5 for ages still not got round to playing it but I will!!
This is the real Cyberpunk 2077 we deserve.

If this reviews well i"ll definitely pick it up.
Has the digital person dropped yet. Game look surprisingly interesting.
I don’t know what to say…
I managed to finish the game (pretty close to getting the Platinum) on PS5 and it’s a really cute and good game! Not only that, I also snatched a physical copy mainly for those art cards, which are really nice to own!
I loved it so much that when I got myself a MacBook Pro M3, the first game I tested was Stray. It has a few small hiccups when moving the camera too fast but it scales pretty well to Apple’s Silicon chips, even on 8 gigs of RAM (medium graphical settings, unlocked 40-60 fps)
However, I’m not too sure that Stray would be a good fit on Switch, seeing the trailer during the Direct. I have to see actual gameplay before deciding to triple-dip.
