And it’s a firm favourite for feline lovers.
The game in question is Stray, a third-person cat adventure set in a dystopian neon-lit city sometime in the future when humans seemingly no longer roam the world.
Shoppers have spotted the PS5 version going for just £5 in Asda stores – though it’s not clear if the deal is available in every location.

The story behind Stray
Speaking to The Sun before the game launched, producers revealed that the unique idea for Stray came about from two artists who had a fascination with Kowloon Walled City, a densely populated enclave that once sat within Hong Kong.

They imagined how the tightly packed high dwellings would make the perfect playground for a cat.
“Because they were cat owners and cat lovers themselves it really started to take a precise shape in their head when they did this,” Swann Martin-Raget said at the time.
One of the features Stray is praised for is its attention to detail, which came about as developers spent time researching cats in detail, looking at things like how far or high they can jump.

“They step right on the power button of the computer just when you’re about to save your work,” Swann explained.
“They also start meowing when you have an important call, but jokes aside they really help us because they’re a constant reference so seeing them move around the office and interact with various items is really useful for us when you actually work on the animations of the game or sounds.”
Stray was such a hit that a movie based on the video game is currently in the works.
