Astro Bot is a 3D platformer where the player controls a robot named Astro. There are over 80 levels, split across six galaxies and 50 planets. Traversal between these galaxies is achieved through traveling on the "Dual Speeder", a spaceship shaped like a PlayStation 5 DualSense controller. Astro also has access to new abilities which can diversify the gameplay. These include a bulldog named Barkster which gives Astro the ability to air-dash through enemies and terrain, and a pair of frog gloves which allow Astro the punch from a distance and swing off of certain surfaces. Additionally, boss battles are present at the end of each galaxy.
Having first appeared in Astro's Playroom, robots referencing various characters from prominent PlayStation games and franchises (such as God of War and Uncharted) make a return in Astro Bot. There are over 150 "VIP Bots" which can be recruited.
Astro Bot will reportedly not support PlayStation VR2.
