Astro Bot doesn't release until the 6th September — this Friday! — but it would appear that physical copies of the game are already out in the wild. Various social media posts confirm that a handful of lucky fans have managed to track the PS5 title down — and some of them have even been able to stream the game online, through sites like Twitch.
Naturally, this means that spoilers could be heading our way, so caution is advised. While we doubt that Astro Bot will have any huge plot twists, there are definitely elements of the adventure that could be spoiled — like PlayStation character cameos and surprising gameplay moments that you'd much rather experience for yourself.
Here's hoping that spoilers are kept to a minimum over the next few days, then. For what it's worth, we're currently playing through Astro Bot for review purposes — and we can promise that said review will be spoiler-free!

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games.

Spoiler Warning: GOTY
