The DualSense wireless controller\u2019s adaptive triggers and haptic feedback bring Astro\u2019s actions to life as players feel the might of new power ups as well as environments Astro traverses across, from hard metallic surfaces to more squishy textures in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">\u201cAstro Bot truly has something for everyone and we are so proud of what Team ASOBI have accomplished,\u201d said Hermen Hulst, CEO, SIE\u2019s Studio Business Group. \u201cWhether you have been with us for three decades or just curious about what makes gaming so special, Astro Bot offers an adventure that\u2019s fun, accessible, and packed with surprises. As we celebrate 30 years of PlayStation, we are inviting everyone to experience the magic of gaming through Astro\u2019s eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">During this epic adventure Astro will reunite with over&nbsp;<strong class=\"sie-paragraph\">150 iconic heroes from PlayStation history<\/strong>, helping to kick off celebrations for the 30th anniversary of PlayStation. That includes the Lovestruck Lyricist, an homage to PaRappa the Rapper, the Yharnam Hunter, an homage to Bloodborne, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">Players venture across&nbsp;<strong class=\"sie-paragraph\">six galaxies and over 80 levels<\/strong>, from lush forests, sandy beaches, hot volcanoes to more surprising locations such as a gigantic hourglass or the canopy of a singing tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">To assist with his mission, Astro can use over&nbsp;<strong class=\"sie-paragraph\">15 new abilities offering unique play styles<\/strong>. That includes Barkster, the Bulldog Booster that lets Astro air-dash and smash through enemies and obstacles, the Twin-Frog Gloves that offer long-range punching and the ability to swing, and a Giant Sponge that lets Astro suck up water from the environment to grow huge and cause massive (and slightly moist) destruction. Combined with improved Astro controls, these new powers take the Astro platforming experience to new heights while remaining accessible for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">Sony Interactive Entertainment has also released the Astro Bot Limited Edition DualSense Wireless Controller. The controller\u2019s design features Astro\u2019s signature blue accents on the handles and buttons, carved-in, sci-fi lines as well as the trademark playful pair of eyes on the touch pad. The Limited Edition controller is designed to resemble Astro\u2019s in-game speeder, which also happens to be a DualSense wireless controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">*<em class=\"sie-paragraph\">4K resolution requires a compatible 4K TV or display<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">**<em class=\"sie-paragraph\">3D Audio via built-in TV speakers or analog\/USB stereo headphones.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","byline":[33],"class_list":["post-3008777","press-release","type-press-release","status-publish","hentry","post-embark-on-a-galactic-quest-with-astro-bot-launching-today-on-playstation-5"],"ab_tests":{},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Embark On A Galactic Quest With Astro Bot, Launching Today On PlayStation 5 - Sony Interactive Entertainment<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/sonyinteractive.com\/en\/press-releases\/2024\/embark-on-a-galactic-quest-with-astro-bot-launching-today-on-playstation-5\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Embark On A Galactic Quest With Astro Bot, Launching Today On PlayStation 5\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"San Mateo, Calif. &#8211; Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) today announced the launch of Astro Bot on the PlayStation 5 (PS5) console, the latest game in the critically acclaimed series.
