Astro Bot DLC Will Add “Playful” Stages and Speed Run Levels by Year End

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for vibrant, immersive experiences, I can hardly contain my excitement for Astro Bot! With over 80 levels and more than 300 Bots to rescue, it’s clear that Team Asobi has crafted an adventure that promises endless replayability. The fact that the developer is committed to delivering free post-launch DLC, including speed run levels, makes this game a must-have for any PS5 owner.


Even though Team Asobi’s Astro Bot initially estimates a playtime of 12 to 15 hours, it appears that the game offers a dense experience with over 80 stages and more than 300 Bots to save. But don’t let the launch be the end of your adventure, as the developer has confirmed free additional content after release.

According to a statement made to Famitsu magazine (as shared on Twitter by @Genki_JPN), director Nicolas Doucet mentioned that they are currently developing fun and fast-paced stages designed for speed runs as downloadable content. He hinted that these entertaining levels, similar to those found in the previous game, will be available by the end of the year, so keep an eye out for them. As for the extent of post-release updates, we’ll have to wait and see, so stay tuned!

On September 6th, “Astro Bot” will be available for purchase on PS5 at a price of $59.99. Recently, some fresh gameplay has been leaked, featuring appearances by iconic franchises in scenes never seen before. However, please be aware that these clips might contain spoilers. Our article also delves deeper into the game’s features, including Astro’s new abilities and the adjustable difficulty levels.

Regarding the question if Astro Bot will appear on PC, Doucet didn’t explicitly confirm it, but he welcomes input from gamers. Unfortunately, there will be no PlayStation VR2 support, a piece of news that might disappoint Rescue Mission enthusiasts.

According to Director Nicolas Doucet, they’re arranging speed runs and exciting additional levels as downloadable content for Astro Bot! #AstroBot

“By the end of this year, we’re set to unveil additional content featuring fun levels and thrilling speed-run stages, similar to what we had in the last game. So, keep an eye out for it!”
