Astro Bot It is one of the PS5 exclusives that will arrive this year and will allow you to discover once again how much the console (and above all its console) can offer to the world of video games.

The hope was that if it was really popular, it could be a platform that could stand up for itself and that we could make a bigger version,” he said, explaining that the intention was always to follow up the free product with a full PS5 game. “So no, [PSVR2] “It was not taken into account.”
“When we talk about VR other than virtual realityFor a game like Astro, if you want to make a VR version, it has to be completely designed for that medium. “If it’s not a VR game, it still has to be completely designed for that medium,” he explains. “Some games can be hybrids, like first-person games, because there is more similarity.

So, from the beginning, This was our goal.”
Finally, we would like to point out that Astro Bot will receive free updates: here’s what kind they are.
