Popular Adventure Game 'Stray' Now Available for Apple Silicon Macs

[MacRumors]

Adventure game "Stray," which is designed to let players take on the role of a daring orange cat, is available for download on the Mac as of today.

Though the game was first released in 2022, it has been limited to Windows machines and PlayStation and Xbox consoles until today.

In this third-person adventure title, a stray cat's curiosity causes him to get stuck in a walled city filled with robots and mutant bacteria, and the aim in the game is to get back up to the surface using B-12, the cat's drone companion.

Stray asks players to solve puzzles, bypass obstacles, and complete quests while avoiding security bots and evil bacteria. The game is platform-based, so players will need to climb up various obstacles and interact with the environment to open up new pathways.

Since the main character is a cat, players can sneak, sleep, meow at robots, and nuzzle up to NPCs. Stray is limited to Apple silicon Macs, and it uses Metal Upscaling for accelerated graphics performance and high-quality visuals.

Stray can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $30.

I enjoyed playing this game. Would’ve liked to run it on macOS a year ago.

Meh....you cant even bite or scratch people can you?

 

[Populus]

I wonder if it will be available to Apple Silicon iPads…

You can knock things off of ledges and tables. The devs knew their cats.

Port to AppleTV and I’ll be impressed.

Great game. Highly recommended.
First played it when it was available on Playstation Plus and loved it.
Replaying it now on my MacBook Pro!

There aren't really any "people" 😄 but you do get to scratch at doors to be let in!

Minimum specs - 16GB of RAM, except on Mac, where by a miracle 8GB is equivalent. Maybe the game just has a subroutine that downloads an extra 8GB of memory.

Also just requires 8 GB on Windows.

The game is also available on Steam. Important to know for people who have already purchased it, or plan to play the game on PC as well as Mac.

I have no doubt this game is a good game although, honestly It has no appeal to me. The ONLY game I wanted to play on my Mac is Death Stranding Director's cut and it's been delayed! 😡

It's currently on sale (-34%) on Steam. I always prefer when one purchase gets you both the Windows and Mac versions.

Port to AppleTV and I’ll be impressed.

At some point the A17 is gonna make its way to Apple TV, and suddenly Apple TV will support stuff like hardware-accelerated raytracing. Throw in a RAM boost and maybe Apple will finally get semi-serious about gaming on Apple TV like it’s intermittently promised over the years.

 

[mashdots]

I wonder if you can get it to run with ray tracing like you can on Windows.

It's the only way I'll buy it.

That way I can keep playing it after Apple changes their framework for the tenth time and all previous games stop working again.

Can you mutilate Christmas trees because that’s the day I’m having 😼

 

[SunMac]

Already had it on Steam! Nice to see it is already available for download off Steam as of today.

You get a tree or a cat. Take your pick.

Seriously though, we used a potted spiral-shaped Christmas tree for a while because of the cat problem. The cat has mostly grown out of climbing and attacking a more traditional (artificial) tree now.

Good job I got 16gb on my M3 🤩

 

[Joosst]

Does anyone know if this supports Nintendo Switch controllers? I know I can connect those to my mac, but would that automatically map correctly?

Still though. Needs a “I want you to pet me, but I also kind of want to bite you” button.
