A pack-in title for the PlayStation 5 that functions as a Tech-Demo Game for the system's new DualSense controller. You play the role of Captain Astro (previously from Astro Bot Rescue Mission) as he explores his new home — the inside of your own PlayStation 5 system! Bots are running all over the place, whether they're delivering data, playing games, or performing as your favorite Sony characters (and some other ones, too). After a brief demonstration of the controller, you take control as Astro is plopped into the CPU Plaza where he's free to choose which region of the new machine he wants to explore. You can check out the Memory Meadows, the SSD Speedway, the Cooling Springs, or the GPU Jungle. You'll be bashing dangerous robots and solving puzzles, but you'll also be collecting artifacts for the PlayStation Labo. The artifacts in particular happen to be real-life PlayStation hardware, which will be put on display in the labo after you've collected them. Each of the four worlds ends with Astro obtaining one of the previous PlayStation systems. Once he collects them all, a final challenge awaits him deep within the Plaza...Developed by Team Asobi, the game is fully ready to play the moment you first turn on your machine.

Palmtree Panic: Bot Beach in Cooling Springs, is on, well a beach. There you'll see robots relaxing on land and swimming in the ocean, seagull-like robots flying above, dolphins also playing in the ocean, and some palm trees, all the good makings of a beach.

comment
No Plot? No Problem!: There's no real reason for why the Bots with red or yellow eyes are attacking you. The final fight has the upgraded T-rex spitting out some of the enemy bots at you during the fight, implying he might've been behind their malevolence, but otherwise we don't get an answer.

Wainscot Society: The Bots running around are driving vehicles and delivering data down the SSD Speedway and working hard in the Labo. Some even dress up as characters and have camerabots follow them around, as if they're "filming" them as the game in question is played. Downplayed by the fact that Astro seems quite happy to see you and show you around the game-world, with no need for secrecy.

Game Over
 Astro's Playroom (Video Game) / int_7228d0cb
comment
Game Over: Averted as there is no true failure screen. Astro can only take one good hit, after which he'll be sent back to a checkpoint after a brief-blackout à la Super Mario Odyssey . At worst you lose whatever coins you had gathered since the checkpoint. The only exception to this is during the 1994 Throwback stage, which is a full-on boss stage of two stages akin to Rescue Mission, with Astro having two extra lives he can lose before being thrown back to the start of the phase.

Celebrity Paradox: Collecting PlayStation controllers and machines for the trophy room inside your PlayStation 5 is weird enough. Weirder still is when you grab the actual PlayStation 5 at the end of the game. So does this one have another Astro inside of it, too?

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: The T-rex from the original PS1 tech demo serves as the final boss of the game with two phases to its fight, one in its original PS1 graphics and the other as a Humongous Mecha in the new PS5 graphics. It comes with as much foreshadowing as you think it does.

Tech-Demo Game: Natch. It comes pre-loaded on the PlayStation 5 and was designed to show off all the cool new things the DualSense is capable of. The haptic feedback is used to show the differences between floor textures and to feel tiny things like rainfall pitter-pattering on your character's umbrella. A lot of sounds you'd expect to come from the game come from the controller as well to add to the immersion. The player is also given access to a plunger-arrow and a ball-firing gatling gun to show off the adaptive triggers.

Shout-Out: Cloud's Buster Sword can be found out in open in the Turbo Trail section of SSD Speedway. It has a beam of light shining on it to replicate the title screen of Final Fantasy VII. The description of the PS2 memory card mentions that it resists psychics, a reference to Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid and his ability to read certain memory card data when the game is played on an original PlayStation. One of Astro's dance animations is the Carlton Dance! The description of the PS5 artifact says "Number five is alive!" The PS VR Processor Unit artifact description calls it "A new fantastic point of view." Throughout the game, various bots can be seen re-enacting various moments from PlayStation-owned series, as well as third-party games that started on PlayStation.
