Do You Want Astro Bot on PC? Creative Director Wants to Know | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Sony is bringing most of its first-party games to PC, and there’s a chance Astro Bot could be next in line. While the game is intrinsically linked to the PS5 hardware experience – the eponymous hero’s spacecraft is even shaped like a DualSense controller – creative director Nicholas Douchet hinted as part of a MinnMaxx interview that if fans are loud enough a conversion could happen at a later date.

“We want to hear from you [about the possibility of a PC port],” he revealed. “Absolutely, we want to hear from you.”

Since the PS5 launched, the platform holder has ported a couple of its tentpole platformer games to PC, including Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Sackboy: A Big Adventure. Both of these titles used the full capabilities of the PS5, with Insomniac Games’ intergalactic adventure really pushing the limitations of the system’s SSD in particular, but still made the transition to PC fine.

So, we wouldn’t rule out a PC port of Astro Bot, especially if the title proves popular on PS5, which is looking likely. But is it something you’d be eager to buy? Or are you already committed to playing the promising platformer on 6th September? Double-jump into the comments section below and let us know.

I've never played it, don't know anything about it. So probably won't be into it.

This is probably the only game that I would be completely against releasing on PC, due to the way it uses playstation hardware as in-game mechanics.

It would be funny if the Dual Speeder gets replaced by a keyboard speeder in the PC version

If this goes to PC then 100% of PS5's past and future library will make the jump in which case just release
