The long-awaited Stray Nintendo Switch release is finally set for November 19th, bringing one of 2022's best games to Nintendo's popular platform. Fans of the game have been eagerly anticipating this release, and it’s time to explore what this version has in store.

The Nintendo Switch had an impressive lineup of games in 2022, featuring hits like Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Splatoon 3, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land. However, one critically acclaimed title that Switch users missed out on was Stray. Originally released on other platforms, this beloved game captured the hearts of many but was notably absent from the Switch. During June's Nintendo Direct presentation, it was announced that Stray would finally be making its way to the Switch, though no release date was given at the time. That has now changed, as publisher Annapurna Interactive has confirmed the game's release on November 19th. As of now, the game doesn't have an eShop page, so eager fans will have to wait a bit longer to pre-order.

The release date for Stray on the Switch was revealed in a new trailer, which you can find below.

There is some curiosity about how Stray will perform on the Switch compared to its versions on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. The original releases received glowing reviews, with ComicBook's own Cade Onder awarding the PS5 version a 4.5 out of 5, praising it as "a game that wears its heart on its sleeve and expertly weaves its themes into everything the player does."

2024 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Switch owners

Stray's November 19th release falls in the same month as other anticipated titles like Mario & Luigi: Brothership (November 7th) and Dragon Quest III HD-2D (November 14th). While these games will undoubtedly capture the attention of Switch users, there's hope that Stray won't get overlooked after its long-awaited arrival on Nintendo's platform. With the launch date approaching, we can expect more details about Stray's Switch version, including its price, potential physical edition, and any pre-order bonuses.

The wait may have been long, but it looks like it will be worth it for fans eager to explore the world of Stray on their Nintendo Switch.

As we approach the Stray Nintendo Switch release on November 19th, the excitement continues to build. Whether you're new to the game or a returning fan, this release promises to deliver an engaging experience on the Switch. Stay tuned for more updates as the launch date approaches.
