Astro Bot started life as a humble mascot for the Playroom tech demo. When Sony had new hardware to show off, Astro Bot was there to guide players through the ins and outs of the new system Sony wanted to show off. But with Astro Bot, the cute little mascot is finally coming center stage.
This colorful, vibrant 3D platformer isn't just a showcase for the PS5's powerful graphics processor and fast SSD, because between the unbridled level of creativity in each level and the controller-crushing difficulty of some of the challenges, Astro Bot is pure delight and wonder. From transforming into a balloon to punching enemies with bungee fists, Astro Bot's every ability never fails to entertain even the most hardcore gamers. I don't say this lightly, but PlayStation may have found its answer to Nintendo's Mario.
