Cats are always sticking their heads where they don't belong, and you'll have a chance to do it yourself in Stray. Indeed, earning the Curiosity Killed the Cat trophy requires you to find and stick your head in a paper bag, which results in you stumbling about with inverted controls momentarily until you automatically manage to shake it off.

Where and how to earn the Curiosity Killed the Cat trophy

To get the Curiosity Killed the Cat trophy, you'll need to first find a paper bag, so make your way to the Slums during your adventure or use chapter selection to load up the area. There are multiple bags in this area, but for the sake of ease, we'll point you to a specific one for quick and easy completion.

Step 1: Make your way to the area with the Guardian in a red robe, who you encountered when you entered the Slums for the very first time.

Step 2: Facing him, turn left and stroll down the steps until you see the musician nearby.

Step 3: Against a pillar next to the musician is a paper bag, and when you approach it, it will display a prompt. Press the corresponding button and you'll get your head stuck, which should pop the Curiosity Killed the Cat trophy for you.

While your head is stuck in the paper bag, your controls will be inverted. Don't worry, though, as you'll soon shake the bag off and be able to resume some more feline hijinks.

Microsoft just made its smallest Xbox controller ever, and it fits in your pocket
It weighs less than your phone, slips into your pocket, and still has every button you need.
Xbox Nano Controller

Xbox has announced the Nano Controller, the smallest controller the company has ever made. It’s designed for kids, players with smaller hands, and people who like to game outside the living room. The Nano measures a little over 5 inches long and weighs 3.5 ounces.

Even at this size, Xbox hasn’t removed any controls. You get all 18 standard inputs, so the button layout matches the Xbox controller you already know. I’m curious to see how it feels in adult hands during long gaming sessions, but for younger players, the smaller size makes a lot of sense.
