Stray, a game where you play as a kitty cat, is coming soon. Sony announced the cat adventure is coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on July 19.

It is also launching directly into PlayStation Plus. Subscribers will get access to it at no additional cost.

In Stray, players really do take control of a feline hero. As this cat, you must deliver parcels throughout a busy metropolis. Sony showed off more gameplay which included speaking (meowing?) with various vendors and denizens.
