Astro Bot, a popular platformer game, has received a free update on the PlayStation 5, adding new levels and features for players. On PS5 Pro consoles, players will automatically receive a “constant best resolution” at 60 frames per second (fps), providing a smoother gaming experience.
The update introduces five new levels set in the Vicious Void Galaxy, designed to test jumping skills and require completion of the main game. Each level comes with a new Special Bot that must be rescued by players. The new levels will be released weekly, starting from February 13th.
Team Asobi, the game’s developers, expressed gratitude for the ongoing support from fans, stating that their comments and kind words have carried them through challenging times. The update is part of a series of additions to Astro Bot since its release, including speedrunning levels and seasonal updates.
The game has received widespread critical acclaim, including being one of Eurogamer’s Games of 2024 and winning the top prize at last year’s The Game Awards. Former Nintendo boss Reggie Fils-Aimé even praised the game, saying it “almost outdid Nintendo at its own game”.
