Free Expansion for Astro Bot Launches This Week on PlayStation

PlayStation has announced an exciting new free expansion for the beloved platformer Astro Bot, titled Winter Wonder. This expansion will be available tomorrow, December 12, at 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern. Players must complete the base game to access this new content, which promises to bring festive joy with shiny presents and special bots. Studio director Nicolas Doucet expressed gratitude to the community for their positive reception and confirmed that this update aims to be enjoyable for players of all ages without the challenging speedrun elements from previous DLCs. Astro Bot has already seen impressive sales of 1.5 million units in its first two months, earning a stellar 9/10 in reviews.

Players can look forward to a fun-filled new level featuring a festive environment centered around a large Christmas tree, shiny presents, and new special bots to recruit into their crew. The experience is designed to be enjoyable for both children and adults alike, ensuring a delightful holiday vibe.

Astro Bot launched on PlayStation 5 earlier this year, quickly gaining acclaim for its innovative gameplay and charm. Developed by Team Asobi, this platformer is known for its immersive use of VR technology and creative level design, making it a standout title in the PS5 library, resonating deeply with both casual and dedicated gamers.
