Astro Bot Update 1.004 Is Available Now on PS5, and Nobody Knows What It Does | Push Square

Removed — unconstructive

These patches might be clearing up rare minor issues, but I also strongly suspect Team Asobi is slipping in some surprises as they did regularly with Astro's Playroom.

Probably stability improvements.

One thing I think the game does need to improve, and I am being really nitpicky here since the game is near-perfect, is the way
