Astro Bot release date: PS5 game pre-order, trailer and news
PlayStation’s State of Play on Thursday 30th May 2024 hit us with plenty of exciting news, but one of the main highlights was the announcement of a new platformer, Astro Bot, featuring every PS5 owner’s favourite little robot.
There were also announcements regarding the Silent Hill 2 remake, God of War Ragnarok’s PC release and a bunch of updates on some PS VR2 titles, including Alien: Rogue Incursion — which looks deliciously eerie.
But the loveable Astro’s appearance will have stolen the show for many. He last appeared in a game in 2020 with Astro’s Playroom, which was released to coincide with the PS5’s launch. It was a goofy platformer that was used to mainly showcase the console and DualSense controller’s power.
However, it ended up becoming a beloved title for tons of gamers, which has influenced Sony’s decision to build a new and deeper game.
If you’re as excited as we are about Astro Bot, read on for all the latest information on a release date, pre-orders and gameplay details.
Astro Bot is set to release on 6th September 2024, so there isn’t long to wait at all.
It does give anyone who hasn’t yet played Astro’s Playroom a chance to familiarise themselves with the character and the wacky PlayStation-themed world he lives in before the release of this new game, though.
At the moment, Astro Bot cannot be pre-ordered. However, pre-orders will be open from 7th June 2024, according to a blog post from Sony.
An image of the box art for the game is also included in the post, so we understand a physical edition of the game will be released — which means all of the usual suspects, such as GAME and Amazon, will eventually have pages online where you can pre-order the game.
If digital purchases are more your thing, then we also believe that the game will be able to order on the PS5’s digital storefront too.
We will update this page with the relevant links once pre-orders go live.
