Ahead of the release of Stray on July 19th, Stray has become the most wishlisted game on Steam and it has been fully Steam Deck Verified. Good news for Steam Deck fans and Linux desktop gamers, since it should work great on both.
Stray has been doing headlines for quite some time since the initial trailer that was shown by Sony, as it will be coming to the PlayStation 5 too. The Steam release is what we're interested in though of course and the publisher Annapurna Interactive noted on Twitter the Steam Deck compatibility. This is great to see for multiple reasons though, not only being Steam Deck Verified but the publisher and developer ensuring it's done before release. Hopefully more will do the same.

"Stray is a third-person cat adventure game set amidst the detailed, neon-lit alleys of a decaying cybercity and the murky environments of its seedy underbelly. Roam surroundings high and low, defend against unforeseen threats and solve the mysteries of this unwelcoming place inhabited by curious droids and dangerous creatures.
See the world through the eyes of a cat and interact with the environment in playful ways. Be stealthy, nimble, silly, and sometimes as annoying as possible with the strange inhabitants of this mysterious world."
You can pre-order on Steam. I'll be taking a look at how it runs at release.

Here's a perfect example of this; my brother and I have started playing Children of Morta co-op. But with this freaking heatwave and the fact there is no fan in my office where my main game machine is (I do have a standing fan, but it's way too loud) so instead I switched to playing on my Steam Deck and could lay in bed with the ceiling fan on. It was wonderful! Also not sure how Valve fixed the shittiness that is bluetooth headphones so they work properly on the Steam Deck, but I've never had much luck getting them to work on any other Linux system...
Weird, this is the second cat adventure today.
Quoting: dvdWindows only, shame... When i saw the trailer it looked like a nice game.
Why is it a shame?

Proton is great, but I don't think there's any point to razzing people for preferring Linux native.

Quoting: Mountain ManI've wishlisted it, but I'm not going to be an early adopter. I'll let others take that risk, and if the user reviews are positive, then I'll buy.
I would recommend all Nvidia users wait. Even if it's Steam Deck verified, that only guarantees it works on AMD.
