Astro Bot

Astro Bot is a full-length 3D platformer developed by Team Asobi exclusively for PlayStation 5. Building on the foundation laid by the PS5 pack-in title Astro's Playroom, the game sends the lovable robot hero on a sprawling adventure across over 50 handcrafted levels spread across multiple galaxies. Each world introduces fresh mechanics, power-ups, and environmental puzzles that keep the experience feeling inventive from start to finish.

The game is a showcase for the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive trigger capabilities. Every surface, every splash of water, and every gust of wind is communicated through the controller with a precision that adds a tactile dimension to the platforming. Power-ups range from a pair of spring-loaded boxing gloves to a rideable dog balloon, each transforming how players interact with the levels in unexpected ways.

Astro Bot is also a celebration of PlayStation history, featuring cameo appearances from iconic characters across Sony's catalog. Hidden bots dressed as beloved PlayStation heroes are scattered throughout the levels, rewarding exploration with nostalgic callbacks. With its tight controls, generous content, and an infectious sense of charm, Astro Bot has been hailed as one of the best platformers in years and a must-play title for PS5 owners.

System Requirements

Tips for New Players

• Explore every corner — hidden bots and puzzle pieces are tucked away in places you wouldn't expect, so smash every object and check behind every wall.
• Use your powers creatively — each level's unique power-up is designed to interact with the environment in multiple ways beyond the obvious path.
• Revisit completed levels — you'll unlock abilities later that let you access previously unreachable areas in earlier stages.
• Pay attention to haptic feedback — the DualSense controller gives subtle clues about hidden secrets through vibration patterns.
• Don't rush boss fights — learn each boss's attack patterns during the first phase before going aggressive.
• Collect coins generously — they're used to unlock bonus levels and cosmetic items in the hub world.
• Check the Crash Site regularly — rescued bots appear here and sometimes unlock fun interactive cameos.
