Stray and Wanderstop join Switch 2

Annapurna Interactive has set Stray for Nintendo Switch 2 on May 28 and Wanderstop for June 23, adding two more named releases to Nintendo’s new console lineup. (gameinformer.com) (youtube.com) The announcement came in Annapurna’s April 23 Switch 2 lineup reveal, which also dated To a T for June 11 and released Sayonara Wild Hearts and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes on Switch 2 the same day. (gameinformer.com) (youtube.com) Stray is not a brand-new game for Nintendo players: Nintendo’s store already lists a Switch version, and the new Switch 2 edition is being sold separately for $29.99. (nintendo.com) (gematsu.com) Nintendo Everything and GoNintendo both reported that the Switch 2 version of Stray adds upgraded visuals, 4K output, a better frame rate, and Joy-Con 2 mouse controls. (nintendoeverything.com) (gonintendo.com) Wanderstop is the newer title in the pair. Annapurna describes it as a game about “change and tea,” with players running a tea shop in a magical forest as former fighter Alta serves passing customers. (annapurnainteractive.com) (nintendolife.com) Unlike Stray, Wanderstop is also coming to the original Nintendo Switch on June 23, with Nintendo Life and Final Weapon listing a $24.99 price. (nintendolife.com) (finalweapon.net) The broader move is Annapurna putting five games on Switch 2 within one announcement window, not just one or two ports. Game Informer counted Stray, Wanderstop, To a T, Sayonara Wild Hearts, and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes in the slate. (gameinformer.com) For Switch 2 owners, that means two Annapurna games are already available, one arrives in May, and two more are scheduled for June. The story here is less a rumor cycle than a dated release calendar from a publisher with concrete prices and features attached. (gameinformer.com) (youtube.com)
