Astro Bot - PS5

The green alien Nebulax attacks Astro’s PS5-shaped mothership, rips out its CPU and scatters the crew across space. Astro sets off on his Dual Speeder to bring 300 lost bots home and rebuild the ship, across more than 50 planets.

It is a 3D platformer, and each world hands Astro a new power-up: Twin-Frog boxing gloves that punch from a distance, Barkster the bulldog booster that smashes through walls and carries him over gaps, a monkey climber for sheer surfaces. The DualSense’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers make every surface and jump something you feel. Many of the bots are VIPs dressed as PlayStation characters, from Ghost of Tsushima’s Jin to Ellie and Joel from The Last of Us.

Made by Team Asobi, the studio behind Astro’s Playroom, and Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024. Single player, rated PEGI 7.
