Adorable PSVR hit Astro Bot is getting a PS5 platform spin-off at launch And it'll be pre-loaded onto the console. News by Matt Wales Reporter Updated on 13 Jun 2020 29 comments Sony Japan Studio's Astro Bot was a delightful surprise when it released on PSVR back in 2018, stealing hearts with its inventive 3D platforming and adorable robo-protagonist Astro. And now the latter is set to return in a pint-sized PS5 spin-off, launching with the console this "holiday". Astro's Playroom, as the new experience will be known, sees Astro and his crew embarking on a fresh adventure that looks to be part platformer, part introduction to the PS5.

And best of all, Astro's Playroom will be included with all PlayStation 5s at launch, pre-loaded for your pleasure.
