Starting out in Astro Bot? This guide delivers all the important information you need to complete the best adventure. That means finding all the secrets hidden within the game, and navigating through the fun platformer to rescue all your Bot buddies. There’s more than 50 planets of fun to play through in Team Asobi’s spectacular sequel all to repair the mothership, akin to the PlayStation 5 console.
In our Astro Bot review, we called it a “near-perfect platforming game” which can "rival – and possibly surpass – the best of Super Mario's Mushroom Kingdom romps." And we mean it, as we’ve also voted it one of the best games of 2024. So, if you’re diving into the game and looking for intel, we’ll help you hunt for collectibles, unlock the Playroom secrets, and have a lot of fun in photo mode. Here’s everything you need to know.
Astro Bot Length
The answer to how long Astro Bot is will entirely depend on your approach to the game, and whether you're simply pushing through the story to rebuild the Mothership or hunting for all of the secrets hidden in every level. If you want to judge how much time it will likely take, we have a full breakdown in that guide.
Astro Bot collectibles
There are plenty of Astro Bot collectibles hiding in each of the highly detailed and varied planet levels, including Bots to rescue, Puzzle Pieces to assemble, and Warps to take you away to bonus stages in the Lost Galaxy, so we've got a selection of pointers to help you track them down. If you're looking for other secret items to unlock specific Trophies, then we also have guides on where to find the Astro Bot Bot of War ravens in the God of War themed level, along with the Astro Bot Dude Raiding egg artefacts on the Uncharted planet.
Astro's Playroom secrets
Did you know that there were some secret additions made to Astro's Playroom, the adventure bundled for free with all PS5s? Follow our guide to track down the four Astro's Playroom Special Bots, and they'll be magically transported over to the Crash Site hub planet so they can join your crew in Astro Bot.
Astro Bot Photo Mode
If you're confused about how to use Astro Bot Photo Spots or you're looking for a general Photo Mode in the game, then that's understandable as this is a feature you need to unlock through progress. You'll need to find enough Puzzle Pieces to open the Safari Park, where you can then collect the camera.
Astro Bot Outfits
If you pre-ordered the game or purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition, then you may be wondering how to access the Astro Bot outfits included in those packages so you can dress as PaRappa the Rapper and other PlayStation icons. Again, this is a feature you need to unlock through progress, so grab enough Puzzle Pieces to open the Changing Room and switch up your appearance.
Astro Bot DLC
Astro's adventure is far from over, as there is Astro Bot DLC on the way to expand the game further. The first big update is arriving for free by the end of 2024, bringing speedrun levels, online leaderboards, new VIPs bots to rescue, and possibly some more surprises too.
