Stray, the game about a cat making his way in a city inhabited by robots.
Here's how the top ten currently shakes out:
That doesn't necessarily mean that Stray has been wishlisted more than The Day Before, or any other game on the list—many of which actually have thousands more followers than Stray. The list is sorted by "relevance," and according to Simon Carless of the GameDiscoveryCo newsletter, that means there's a touch of the ol' Steam algorithmic magic at work too.
"The ‘top wishlists’ Steam chart is not 100% how many total wishlists you’ve received," Carless wrote. "It’s majority that, but also affected by wishlist velocity. So games adding wishlists swiftly can chart higher. And games with lots of wishlists, but adding literally zero may not appear at all."
Stray has been getting a lot of attention lately, thanks both to its release—it's out on July 19—and the fact that it looks fantastic: Weird, funny, sweet, and legitimately different and distinct from everything else out there. (Science also tells us that cats are objectively everybody does want to be a cat, actually," and yeah, I definitely do.
