      Astro Bot had a PS VR game in PS4 era, and apparently it was very well received. Then there was a “tech demo” with PS5, and now they are releasing a full game for PS5.

    This must be far below my age range. I read the article and still have absolutely no idea why having bots (NPCs I’m guessing) that look like other characters is a big deal. Ho hum.

      They’re just fun little nods to PlayStation’s history. Previous AstroBot games have been fun little 3D platformers, with little tidbits that pay tribute to the PlayStation and its various controllers and accessories and even major series.

      This is just saying that there are going to be a ton of references, hinting at the scope and budget of the game.
