PS5's jolly 3D platformer Astro Bot has today received another small update. Bringing the game to version 1.004, the patch is only 382.5 MB in size, and it's available to download and install now.

Astro Bot's PS5 player count was strong enough to make it the sixth-biggest PS5 single-player game launch of 2024 so far — a big win for developer Team Asobi.

Astro Bot is a cute game with no dialogue where you take on the roles of iconic characters. Sounds like Lego Star Wars.

One of the harder things about being a dad to a toddler is introducing video games to my son. I can’t exactly play “Space Marine 2” in front of him, so I have to pick my spots. I was in the middle of reviewing “Astro Bot” when he walked in and saw me playing the video game with an adorable hero running around.
