Stray is off to an impressive start in getting over 60,000 players on Steam during its release day and it could be the indie breakout title of 2022. The cyberpunk cat-sim game managed to beat out recent popular AAA titles such as Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, Elden Ring, and NBA 2K22, to name a few. It has even received an overwhelmingly positive rating from over 10,000 users during its first day.
Stray has reportedly managed to become the most successful PC game launch for Annapurna Interactive ever.
