Astro Bot: Here’s What Comes in Each Edition – IGN

Astro Bot is coming to PS5 on September 6. A follow-up to the PS5 pack-in game Astro’s Playroom, it’s a colorful platformer starring an adorable robot named Astro. Unlike most of Astro’s previous outings, this is a full-sized game, with over 50 planets for you to explore. It’s available to preorder in physical and digital form, plus in a digital deluxe edition. Read on to see what comes in each edition, how much it costs, and more.

Astro Bot (Standard Edition)

Physical editions of Astro Bot come with a physical poster of the robots on their PS5 mothership, plus the preorder bonuses detailed below.

Astro Bot Digital Deluxe Edition

What Is Astro Bot?

Astro Bot is the latest adventure for the adorable robot. The first was a mini-game included in The Playroom VR. That was followed up with the PSVR-exclusive game Astro Bot Rescue Mission. And then everyone who buys a PS5 gets a free digital copy of Astro’s Playroom, a short game that lasts between three and five hours, depending on how many of the collectibles you want to get.

The new game, simply called Astro Bot and developed (like the others) by Team Asobi, kicks off when a group of robots’ PS5 mothership is attacked, scattering the robots throughout the galaxy. Your job as Astro is to go around to all the planets and collect your friends. The games have lots of fun platforming to execute, with grappling hooks and hover-jumps and all kinds of fun things. There are also plenty of alien and robotic enemies and bosses to take on.
