Will Stray Come to Xbox Game Pass?
Whether Stray comes to Xbox is up in the air right now.

Is Stray a Horror Game
Stray is not a horror game by any means. While there are some moments where players might feel alone and creeped out, due to the tone of the music and the mood lighting, there are never any truly frightening moments that would put Stray in the horror genre.

Does the Cat in Stray Die?
As far as the overall plot goes, no, the cat in Stray does not die. However, players can get a game over screen if they take too much damage from the enemies in the game. However, there's no blood or anything gruesome like that for people to worry about.
Does Stray Have a Secret Ending?
There is only one ending in Stray, and even if players collect all the game's collectibles before wrapping the story, the ending will remain the same.
