Released on Jun 14, 2025,Astro Botbrought a platforming experience that resonated with many PlayStation fans.

According to Doucet, these levels are Twin-Frog Trouble, Suck It Up, Handhold Havoc, High Inflation, and a secret fifth.

Beyond the new stages, Team Asobi revealed that some new special bots would be coming to the game. Players can look forward to collecting Atsu fromGhost of Yotei, with the State of Play giving a brief look at her design.
