Each level falls under three different difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, and Hard. The main story levels (dubbed "playful stages") primarily fall under the easy & normal difficulties, whereas the optional challenge stages (dubbed "complex stages") fall mainly under the hard difficulty. Each level also contains a difficulty indicator, which is highlighted before entering the level. Both playful and complex stages are said to arrive following the game's release in the form of post-launch downloadable content (DLC).<a href="#cite_note-4">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-Ravi-2024-5">[4]</a> Traversal between the galaxies and levels is achieved through the "Dual Speeder"; a spaceship shaped like a PlayStation 5 DualSense controller. The Dual Speeder is controlled by holding down the analog triggers and physically tilting the DualSense.<a href="#cite_note-Doucet-2024-06-3">[2]</a> It can also move around freely on the level selection screen, where it can collide with incoming asteroids and unlock some of the game's optional stages and collect some of the game's puzzle pieces.<a href="#cite_note-6">[5]</a> Similar to Astro Bot Rescue Mission, every level contains a set number of Bots that Astro has to rescue, ranging from seven Bots in the main platformer levels to only one or two Bots in the boss fights and challenge levels.<a href="#cite_note-:0-7">[6]</a> Each world also requires the player to collect a certain number of bots before progressing onward. 327 Bots can be rescued and recruited in total: 301 in the base game, 22 via free DLC,<a href="#cite_note-8">[7]</a> and 4 obtainable through missions in the free-to-play predecessor Astro's Playroom.<a href="#cite_note-9">[8]</a> Unlike in Rescue Mission, "V.I.P. Bots" (collectible Bots which reference various PlayStation characters in their visual appearance and behavior) can also be rescued and recruited. There are over 150 unique V.I.P. Bots, with more expected to be included alongside free DLC levels.<a href="#cite_note-Blake-2024-06-10">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-11">[10]</a> Many of the "deep cut" Bot characters from PlayStation's history are rescuable in the game's challenge levels.<a href="#cite_note-Tailby-2024-12">[11]</a> The likeness of each of the V.I.P.

Some of these new abilities include Barkster the Bulldog Booster (granting Astro the ability to air-dash through enemies and terrain), the Twin-Frog Gloves (allowing Astro to punch enemies from a distance and swing/slingshot off of certain surfaces), and Handy-D (a monkey which allows Astro to climb on certain surfaces, throw rocks at enemies and slam the ground). The boss battles present at the end of each galaxy are fought with the help of these abilities.<a href="#cite_note-16">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-Doucet-2024-08-15">[13]</a> The game provides a selection of accessibility settings, which include granting the player the option to play the game with a single analog stick (with camera controls instead coming from a single button press), support for the PlayStation Access controller, and the option to disable the gyro controls, haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers. A bluebird helper may also be purchased, helping the player uncover any Bots or puzzle pieces which they might have missed on their first attempt at the level. The bluebird helper is available at the beginning of each level, only being available from the second attempt of a level onward.<a href="#cite_note-Robertson-2024-17">[15]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hub_world">Hub world</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Astro_Bot&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Hub world">edit</a>]</div> All of the Bots that have been collected can be viewed in a centralized <a href="/wiki/Overworld" title="Overworld">hub world</a> called the Crash Site, where they can be viewed and interacted with; many V.I.P. Bots will perform special actions when Astro punches them, such as the Bot based on Ratchet from Ratchet & Clank dropping all of his Bolts and scrambling to pick them back up.<a href="#cite_note-Dring-2024-18">[16]</a> The Crash Site also contains hidden puzzle pieces, Bots, and secret companions, many of which require help from a certain amount of rescued Bots. Collecting puzzle pieces throughout the game unlocks the Gatcha<a href="#cite_note-19">[c]</a> Lab (where Astro can spend coins to unlock collectibles and special items for V.I.P. Bots to interact with), the Dual Speeder garage and Astro's outfit collection (where Astro can repaint his speeder or change outfits), and the Safari Park (where Astro can view and interact with various robotic animals, as well as unlock Photo Mode). Collecting every puzzle piece and 300 Bots grants access to the Great Master Challenge stage, which is only accessible from the Crash Site and rewards the player with a V.I.P. Bot, Dual Speeder skin and Astro costume. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Astro_Bot&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Plot">edit</a>]</div> Astro, the robot captain of a mothership resembling the PlayStation 5 console, and his crew of Bots are exploring space when a green alien named Space Bully Nebulax attacks them and rips out the mothership's CPU. An unconscious Astro and the mothership crash-land onto a desert planet while his crew and the mothership's core systems are scattered across the universe. Astro is revived by his Dual Speeder, a smaller spaceship resembling the DualSense controller, and together they begin reactivating satellites and exploring galaxies to rescue the crew and rebuild the mothership. The crew helps Astro gain access to Nebulax's minions, whom he defeats and recovers mothership parts from - the system memory from Mighty Chewy the gorilla, the solid state drive from Wako Tako the octopus, the graphics processing unit from Lady Venomara the snake, the cooling fan from Mecha Leon the chameleon, and the ship covers from Falcon McFly the bird. Along the way, he rescues V.I.P. Bots (guest characters from other games) and explores planets based on <a href="/wiki/Ape_Escape_(video_game)" title="Ape Escape (video game)">Ape Escape</a>, <a href="/wiki/God_of_War_(2005_video_game)" title="God of War (2005 video game)">God of War</a>, <a href="/wiki/Uncharted:_Drake%E2%80%99s_Fortune" class="mw-redirect" title="Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune">Uncharted</a>, <a href="/wiki/LocoRoco" title="LocoRoco">LocoRoco</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Horizon:_Zero_Dawn" class="mw-redirect" title="Horizon: Zero Dawn">Horizon</a>. Once all parts save for the CPU have been recovered, Astro and his crew board ships based on older PlayStation hardware and form the "PlaySquadron" to take the fight to Nebulax, who has been harassing the helpless CPU throughout the game. Astro recovers the CPU, but when he and his crew defeat Nebulax by blowing up the spaceship he is attached to, it creates a black hole that begins to suck Nebulax in. Nebulax grabs Astro to try to take him down with him, but the crew take hold of Astro to try to pull him back. Refusing to let the crew sacrifice themselves for him, Astro lets go of them and falls into the black hole, which explodes into a <a href="/wiki/Supernova" title="Supernova">supernova</a>. The crew mourns Astro and sad credits begin to roll, but are interrupted by a broken Astro falling back onto the mothership. Several Bots from the crew find replacement parts and help the mothership's repair systems rebuild their captain, who springs back to life. The crew celebrates with a revived Astro, who departs once more on his Dual Speeder before the credits start to roll again. Once the actual credits finish rolling, a badly beaten Nebulax and his minions are seen floating through space; they threaten the player, but are sent flying by the sudden appearance of the words "THE END". <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Astro_Bot&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Development">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1273380762/mw-parser-output/.tmulti">.mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner{display:flex;flex-direction:column}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{display:flex;flex-direction:row;clear:left;flex-wrap:wrap;width:100%;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{margin:1px;float:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .theader{clear:both;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;align-self:center;background-color:transparent;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbcaption{background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-left{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-right{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-center{text-align:center}@media all and (max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbinner{width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:none!important;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{justify-content:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{float:none!important;max-width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle .thumbcaption{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow>.thumbcaption{text-align:center}}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner span:not(.skin-invert-image):not(.skin-invert):not(.bg-transparent) img{background-color:white}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner span:not(.skin-invert-image):not(.skin-invert):not(.bg-transparent) img{background-color:white}}</style><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:317px;max-width:317px"><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:157px;max-width:157px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:186px;overflow:hidden"><a href="/wiki/File:Nicolas_Doucet_-_Game_Developers_Conference_2025_-_07_(cropped).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/Nicolas_Doucet_-_Game_Developers_Conference_2025_-_07_%28cropped%29.jpg/250px-Nicolas_Doucet_-_Game_Developers_Conference_2025_-_07_%28cropped%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="155" height="187" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/Nicolas_Doucet_-_Game_Developers_Conference_2025_-_07_%28cropped%29.jpg/330px-Nicolas_Doucet_-_Game_Developers_Conference_2025_-_07_%28cropped%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1752" data-file-height="2111" /></a></div></div><div class="tsingle" style="width:156px;max-width:156px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:186px;overflow:hidden"><a href="/wiki/File:Masayuki_Yamada_-_Game_Developers_Choice_Awards_2025_-_04_(cropped).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e6/Masayuki_Yamada_-_Game_Developers_Choice_Awards_2025_-_04_%28cropped%29.jpg/250px-Masayuki_Yamada_-_Game_Developers_Choice_Awards_2025_-_04_%28cropped%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="154" height="186" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e6/Masayuki_Yamada_-_Game_Developers_Choice_Awards_2025_-_04_%28cropped%29.jpg/330px-Masayuki_Yamada_-_Game_Developers_Choice_Awards_2025_-_04_%28cropped%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1448" data-file-height="1748" /></a></div></div></div><div class="trow" style="display:flex"><div class="thumbcaption">Astro Bot director Nicolas Doucet (left) and gameplay programming lead Masayuki Yamada (right)</div></div></div></div> Development of Astro Bot started almost immediately after Astro's Playroom was completed, and took roughly three years with a development team of around 60 people. It is reportedly the largest game that Team Asobi has developed.<a href="#cite_note-Minotti-2024-20">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-Robinson-2024-21">[18]</a> Unlike its predecessors Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Astro's Playroom, Astro Bot was named without any subtitle proceeding it. Nicolas Doucet, the creative director and producer of Astro Bot, stated the reasoning behind this was to signify a new beginning for the Astro Bot series.<a href="#cite_note-22">[19]</a> In an interview with <a href="/wiki/Edge_(magazine)" title="Edge (magazine)">Edge</a> magazine, Doucet stated that he and Team Asobi considered giving the game an <a href="/wiki/Open_world" title="Open world">open world</a> structure, but ultimately decided on focusing more on a level-based structure instead. He notes that the reason behind this decision was "because that was the one that gave us the most control over the game's variety."<a href="#cite_note-23">[20]</a> To make the game accessible for gamers of all skill levels, the difficulty of each of Astro Bot's levels were put into great consideration. The main levels were designed to be relatively easy, allowing anyone to beat the game regardless of their skill level. The optional levels, meanwhile, were designed to be much more difficult as a way of satisfying the more experienced gaming crowd.<a href="#cite_note-Robinson-2024-21">[18]</a> Alongside the platforming, several additions were made to the background and environmental details present in each of the levels. The overhauled game engine allows for significant improvements in both the visuals and physics and over 70 unique species of wildlife (which include polar bears, elephants, and small insects).<a href="#cite_note-Corey-2024-24">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-25">[22]</a> Astro Bot is not playable on the <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_VR2" title="PlayStation VR2">PlayStation VR2</a>, even though previous Team Asobi games featuring Astro (such as Astro Bot Rescue Mission and <a href="/wiki/The_Playroom_(2013_video_game)#The_Playroom_VR" title="The Playroom (2013 video game)">The Playroom VR</a>) required the use of the <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_VR" title="PlayStation VR">PlayStation VR</a> accessory to be played.<a href="#cite_note-26">[23]</a> Doucet stated that Team Asobi had never considered developing a PlayStation VR2 game after finishing Astro's Playroom, instead opting to develop a larger scale version of the tech demo assuming that it was received well enough by the general public. He acknowledged that, while there are games that are playable in both VR and non-VR, this design philosophy could not work for an Astro Bot game, stating "for a game like Astro, if you were to make a VR version, it has to be fully designed for that medium. And if it's not a VR version, it has to be fully designed for that medium."<a href="#cite_note-27">[24]</a> Doucet further corroborated this viewpoint in an interview with MinnMax, stating that developing a PSVR 2 version of Astro Bot would make it an entirely different game.<a href="#cite_note-28">[25]</a> He also noted in the same interview that a PC port was a possibility, should it be in high enough demand following the game's release.<a href="#cite_note-29">[26]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="DualSense_features">DualSense features</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Astro_Bot&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: DualSense features">edit</a>]</div> Astro Bot implements many of the DualSense controller's features in gameplay, particularly the <a href="/wiki/Haptic_technology" title="Haptic technology">haptic feedback</a> and the adaptive triggers. To make the most out of DualSense's features, Team Asobi formed a small group solely dedicated to getting as much out of the controller as possible.<a href="#cite_note-Robinson-2024-21">[18]</a> Doucet notes a few examples of these features, which included using the adaptive triggers to simulate squeezing water out of a sponge by changing its resistance level and using the haptic feedback to feel certain irregularities on a surface to uncover a hidden secret.<a href="#cite_note-Dring-2024-18">[16]</a> Many features are first developed in isolation before the best ones become integrated into the main game (with the aforementioned sponge ability being one such example).<a href="#cite_note-Tailby-2024-12">[11]</a> Each of Astro's abilities also utilizes the DualSense controller's features heavily. Doucet notes the difference in how Astro's Playroom and Astro Bot went about implementing the DualSense abilities in gameplay, with the former segmenting the platforming and abilities into different sections, and the latter instead opting to integrate the abilities into the platforming gameplay. He also mentions that, because of the stronger emphasis on platforming during development, touchpad-related gameplay mechanics were utilized much less frequently. The reason for this, as stated by Doucet, was because using the touchpad requires the player to move their fingers away from the jump button, thus creating discomfort during gameplay.<a href="#cite_note-Dring-2024-18">[16]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="V.I.P._Bots">V.I.P.

Bots referencing prominent PlayStation IPs on multiple occasions. He and Team Asobi decided to "double down" by having even more cameos than Astro's Playroom. The reason he gives for this is that it could potentially work as a generational bridge; a child wondering who a certain Bot is referencing could receive an explanation from their parent who had played the games previously.<a href="#cite_note-Minotti-2024-20">[17]</a> One challenge that implementing the V.I.P. Bots presented was how the team had gone about representing these longstanding characters. Carried over from Astro's Playroom, punching these Bots causes them to have a funny reaction and reference something specific from their respective games. Doucet stated there was a balance to be had with maintaining this aspect of humor present in the previous Astro games while simultaneously being respectful to the legacy of the characters they were "taking the piss and being funny with". Various <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_Studios" title="PlayStation Studios">PlayStation Studios</a> studios, such as <a href="/wiki/Santa_Monica_Studio" title="Santa Monica Studio">Santa Monica Studio</a> and <a href="/wiki/Naughty_Dog" title="Naughty Dog">Naughty Dog</a>, have responded positively to the implementation of their characters being represented as Bots.<a href="#cite_note-Tailby-2024-12">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-Dring-2024-18">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-Minotti-2024-20">[17]</a> Another challenge that came about from the V.I.P. Bots was how the large number of PlayStation and third-party characters and references present could overshadow the identity of Astro himself. Doucet said he and Team Asobi had considered not implementing any PlayStation branding in the upcoming game, instead allowing Astro to "stand on his own feet". Ultimately, he and Team Asobi decided against this, reasoning that fans of Astro's Playroom who enjoyed the PlayStation references would likely be disappointed if the sequel had done away with them entirely.<a href="#cite_note-Dring-2024-18">[16]</a> The design of the Bots was not always completely accurate to the source material they were referencing, with Doucet specifically noting that characters who had hair often had it replaced with vinyl. Doucet also said that the blue LED eyes present on the Bots were a huge element of their designs. Some Bots could not be accurately represented with LED eyes alone, due to their original designs heavily relying on eyes. To solve this issue, they were given full head masks.<a href="#cite_note-Corey-2024-24">[21]</a> There are a total of 190 V.I.P. Bots in Astro Bot.

2024 on Metacritic and OpenCritic.<a href="#cite_note-69">[64]</a><a href="#cite_note-70">[65]</a> Simon Cardy of IGN compared Astro Bot to the likes of a theme park and <a href="/wiki/Willy_Wonka" title="Willy Wonka">Willy Wonka</a>'s Chocolate Factory, "throwing a new thrill at you around every corner and after every double-jumped gap [...] a delightful concoction of experimentation and joy." He also felt that it was the best utilization of the DualSense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers since 2020's Astro's Playroom, feeling "like some popping candy has smuggled its way into your controller as it fizzes and pings away, sweetly reacting to whatever is happening on screen."<a href="#cite_note-IGN_review-65">[60]</a> GameSpot's Mark Delaney praised the level design, feeling it could reliably predict when players would sidetrack from the main path and accordingly rewarded them with secrets, "like a surprise gift in the mail whose sender can't wait to learn it's arrived." Delaney also wrote the various abilities of Astro elevated the gameplay, but never at the cost of alienating the player from the fundamental sense of control; he did, however, call Astro's underwater controls as unintuitive.<a href="#cite_note-Gamespot_review-63">[58]</a> Astro Bot was also positively compared to games in the <a href="/wiki/Super_Mario" title="Super Mario">Super Mario</a> series, particularly <a href="/wiki/Super_Mario_Sunshine" title="Super Mario Sunshine">Super Mario Sunshine</a>,<a href="#cite_note-Eurogamer_review-62">[57]</a><a href="#cite_note-71">[66]</a><a href="#cite_note-72">[67]</a> <a href="/wiki/Super_Mario_Galaxy" title="Super Mario Galaxy">Super Mario Galaxy</a>,<a href="#cite_note-73">[68]</a><a href="#cite_note-Bailey-2024-74">[69]</a><a href="#cite_note-75">[70]</a><a href="#cite_note-76">[71]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Super_Mario_Odyssey" title="Super Mario Odyssey">Super Mario Odyssey</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Bailey-2024-74">[69]</a><a href="#cite_note-77">[72]</a> Critics also drew comparison of the mechanics to other <a href="/wiki/Nintendo" title="Nintendo">Nintendo</a> series, which included <a href="/wiki/Arms_(video_game)" title="Arms (video game)">Arms</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pikmin" title="Pikmin">Pikmin</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Splatoon" title="Splatoon">Splatoon</a>.<a href="#cite_note-78">[73]</a><a href="#cite_note-79">[74]</a><a href="#cite_note-80">[75]</a> <a href="/wiki/Masahiro_Sakurai" title="Masahiro Sakurai">Masahiro Sakurai</a>, the creator of the <a href="/wiki/Kirby_(series)" title="Kirby (series)">Kirby</a> and <a href="/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros." title="Super Smash Bros.">Super Smash Bros.</a> series, praised the game on <a href="/wiki/Twitter" title="Twitter">Twitter</a>.<a href="#cite_note-81">[76]</a><a href="#cite_note-82">[77]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sales">Sales</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Astro_Bot&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Sales">edit</a>]</div> In the United States, Astro Bot was the second best-selling software in the week of release and 21% higher than <a href="/wiki/Ratchet_%26_Clank:_Rift_Apart" title="Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart">Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart</a>'s debut in the United Kingdom.<a href="#cite_note-83">[78]</a> In Japan, the game sold 12,672 physical units throughout its first week of release, making it the second best-selling retail game of the week in the country.<a href="#cite_note-84">[79]</a> It had sold 34,902 physical units in Japan by September 30, 2024, and 47,392 physical units by December 8.<a href="#cite_note-85">[80]</a> On November 8, 2024, it was revealed by Sony that Astro Bot had sold 1.5 million units as of November 3.<a href="#cite_note-86">[81]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Awards">Awards</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Astro_Bot&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Awards">edit</a>]</div> Since January 6, 2025, Astro Bot has become the most awarded platformer game of all time, beating out <a href="/wiki/It_Takes_Two_(video_game)" title="It Takes Two (video game)">It Takes Two</a> with a current total of 106 Game of the Year nominations and wins.<a href="#cite_note-GR-87">[82]</a> <table class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible"> <tbody><tr> <th scope="col">Year </th> <th scope="col">Award </th> <th scope="col">Category </th> <th scope="col">Result </th> <th scope="col" class="unsortable"><abbr title="Reference(s)">Ref.</abbr> </th></tr> <tr> <td scope="row" rowspan="23">2024 </td> <td rowspan="6">2024 <a href="/wiki/Golden_Joystick_Awards" title="Golden Joystick Awards">Golden Joystick Awards</a> </td> <td>Best Visual Design </td> <td style="background: #FFE3E3;
