The predecessor,Astro’s Playroom, was a free tech demo for the DualSense controller that was pre-installed on every PS5. Everyone was so happy seeing the game, Sony decided to bring a full-fledged title in Astro’s universe, and boom! The game is in contention to become the best game of this year.
Why Is Everybody LikingAstro BotSo Much?
The main reason forAstro Bot‘s huge reception is that this game features cameos from 150 classic PlayStation characters, includingRatchet & Clank,Ape Escape, and many more. The developers of Team Asobi obviously wanted Astro to break out of his playroom and get a bigger stage.

But the idea to bring in the classic and familiar PlayStation fun has done the job for them. In an interview withVariety, Asobi Studio Director Nicolas Doucet talked about the characters in the game:
If you asked me the question two years ago about how many we’re going to be able to put in — well, my job is to look at all the problems, so I tend to be pessimistic — where we landed in the end with these 150-plus characters, it’s been really surprising.
Doucet also stated that every owner of those IPs that are in the game showed positive appreciation and support to Team Asobi to include their characters. EvenGod of Wardirector Cory Barlog approved the inclusion of Kratosin a cute bot version.
The game is set in the background of an incident where Astro’s DualSense Spaceship will be torn apart (in the form of PlayStation gaming equipment) as every piece will be scattered across the universe. Now, this cute, tiny character will embark on a journey to find all the pieces.
