Start with your question
Useful now—not a maze of empty wiki pages.
The game is pre-release, so this edition focuses on decisions supported by public evidence. It now covers the PlayStation wishlist, native-online uncertainty, split-screen display questions, and Windows-host/Mac-guest streaming boundaries.

Release date
No release date has been announced for The Missing Tail. Steam lists the planned release as “To be announced,” and PlayStation Store also leaves the date undetermined. Both store listings accept wishlists.

Playtest
Request access through the form on the official The Missing Tail website. It asks for an email address and consent to receive playtest and game updates; submitting the form is a request, not a guaranteed invitation.

Co-op guide
The Missing Tail is designed for two players, with local split-screen announced. Steam separately lists Online Co-op and Remote Play Together. The official website says online co-op for PC and consoles is in development. Its one-copy FAQ does not establish a currently usable remote console guest route.

One-copy guide
The official FAQ says one copy is enough on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, alongside its local split-screen explanation. Steam also lists Remote Play Together. This does not confirm a Friend's Pass, cross-play, or remote guest access on consoles.

Co-op setup
Online multiplayer
Steam lists Online Co-op and Remote Play Together as separate features. Remote Play Together is a listed streaming option, not proof that it is the only online method. The official website now describes online co-op for PC and consoles as in development; it does not publish the final invitation flow.

What the reveal supports
A guide-shaped game, not yet a giant database.
The published scenes point toward search-worthy puzzles, quests, and locations. The public record does not yet give enough names or solutions for dozens of honest detail pages.
Helpful detours
Animal & town quests
The site promises quests, townsfolk, and helping animals along the route.
Tone shift
Night Watch
Fortress imagery suggests danger and observation without establishing a full combat system.
What is The Missing Tail?
The Missing Tail is an upcoming cozy co-op adventure developed and published by Estoty. Two players take the roles of a royal palace cat and a clever stray whose very different lives become one journey home.
Official descriptions name a medieval courtyard and castle, split-screen third-person play, co-op puzzles, platforming, quests, townsfolk, animal side stories, secrets, rooftops, and interactive cat chaos. Steam separately lists Online Co-op and Remote Play Together. The official FAQ says one copy is enough, but does not establish native online lobbies or remote console guest access.
The release date, price, cross-play, exact console generations, chapter list, achievement set, and final playtest schedule have not been announced. Those unknowns are kept out of the site's factual answers until the public game pages change.
