Astro’s Playroom designer says he’d consider an expansion or sequel, but no plans are decided

The designer behind Astro’s Playroom, the platformer bundled with all PS5 consoles, has said he would consider an expansion or sequel, but currently there are no plans and much will depend on the popularity of the game.

I'm all for it!

Astro Bot sold great (in context) and is amazing on PSVR. Now he's a megastar thanks to everyone falling in love with him on PS5, it's all but certain they'll make a sequel to launch PSVR 2. I'll be there day ONE!

I think it's time for Sony to campion Astro as an ofiicial Playstation mascot, adn let the poor guy have his own full fledged game. So far it Astro's really has been relegated to being just a glorified tech demo for Sony platforms. Give the little guy a full on AAA adventure.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission on PSVR is one of the best VR games on ANY platform and one of the best platformers ever made. I agree with your sentiment, but anyone thinking his VR outing is a glorified tech demo is plain wrong lol

I loved it so much, it was the first game I bothered to platinum - and I played nothing else until that platinum trophy popped, such was my addiction! Sure, I wish it was longer, but that's just becuase it was great, not because it was short - if you haven't completed the challenge levels yet, do yourself a favour and go do it, because (for me) that's the best part of the game and a huge chunk of the overall play time!

Sequel please

[toxic-inferno]

Anything with more Astrobot is fine by me! A full sequel would be an instant purchase though!

[Rimeskeem]

I could only imagine playing the story of the history of playstation and having boss fights against Nintendo and Xbox LUL

Do not sleep on Astrobot, it is really good.

I agree with everyone else Astrobot is amazing. Sony invest money into making more. Also give us some merchandise especially an Astrobot figure.

[SullysCigar]

Screw the figure, give me a fully functioning robot like Sony used to make - they were awesome! Imagine pairing that with Astro Bot's cuteness and charm lol

[Einhander1971]

Hey that's an even better idea:)

Not heard myself say wow so many times on a game. You just can't describe to someone what it's like with the dualsense on different surfaces. It's sorcery. So glad playing that was my first taste of the PS5

[MetroidFREAK21]

I wouldn't mind more Astrobot for PS5

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Dude, yes. Make it happen!!

[QSPR]

Astro need to be the official mascot for SONY. The game is awesome and bring me a smile all the time. Soon he will join smash bros with hes friends and perks (Jumping Astro and Roller Astro with Ball machine gun and Toylet Plunger bow) hehehe. awesome game.

Sony needs to do this. Not only is it in demand but this would definetly help them in its homeland.

[Lionsguard]

I'm constantly disappointed at how Sony under-utilizes the Astro bots.

[Silly gameAr]

Considering the praise this game is getting, they will definitely come out with something new in the future.

[Levii_92]

Are you kidding me ? Make a sequel ! Make it a full fledged game pleaseee .. it would be so good.

[Games1st]

"depend on the popularity of the game" upvotes ready.

[FreeFallFrenzy]

Him as a front runner for PSVR2 would be awesome, but he's not really a character that you can turn into a cash cow. He's great at introducing new tech but I don't think you can make franchises out of him. But please Sony, keep that tech coming so you can keep using him!

Astro's Playroom is really the unsung hero of the new console launches this year. The game is packed with details and a lot of fun. Sony could have easily charged $20 for this game, but gave it away for free!
