A joyful 3D platformer starring PlayStation's little robot mascot as he rescues his crew across five galaxies. Every level has a new power-up and countless tributes to PlayStation history. It shows off the DualSense controller like nothing else.

Tips
Play it better
- Hold jump to hover on Astro's laser legs; the beams also zap enemies underneath you.
- Every level is built around its own power-up, so try it on everything; walls, water and odd-looking objects usually hide something.
- Spend coins at the Gatcha machine in the Crash Site hub to win collectibles for the bots' playground.
- If a level's map entry shows an incomplete star, you've missed a hidden exit that leads to a secret level.
- Puzzle pieces unlock new features at the Crash Site, so grab them before finishing a level.
- Tilt and shake the DualSense when the game prompts you; it's part of the puzzles, not a gimmick.
