Stray is free to play on PS4 and PS5 with the new PlayStation Plus Trial

PlayStation recently unveiled the newly revamped PlayStation Plus, offering a multi-tier approach for its players. The base Essential tier now offers multiplayer access, a couple of free games every month, and cloud access as well (similar to the previous PS Plus plan). With the new Extra tier, PS Plus offers players a library of PS4 and PS5 titles, similar to that of the Xbox Game Pass. There is also the Premium tier, which includes classic titles from PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3 (via cloud) titles.

Stray will be one of the latest games to join the service. It will launch on PS Plus Extra and Premium since Day 1 for free, meaning players subscribed to these tiers can play the game as part of their subscription service. Even players who haven't subscribed to the service can utilize the new seven-day trial to try the game for free and possibly even finish it.
