2024 is set to be a significant year for PlayStation, featuring titles like Stellar Blade and FF7 Rebirth. Among them, Astro Bot continues to thrive with free updates, including the newly launched Malicious Void galaxy, which offers challenging levels and special bots to rescue. Players can enjoy competitive Time Trials after completing the main game. Upcoming content releases include Cocori-K.O and Grumpy Companion, with a dedicated PS5 pack in the works to further enhance the experience.
Exciting New Content for Astro Bot on PS5
2024 is shaping up to be a monumental year for PlayStation, showcasing highly anticipated titles such as Stellar Blade, FF7 Rebirth, and Helldivers 2. Among these, one standout is the game-as-a-service strategy, which has had mixed results, particularly with the unofficial Starship Troopers simulation. Despite its challenges, Arrowhead Game Studios has remained dedicated, consistently providing excellent support and engaging with the gaming community. A highlight of the year was the remarkable performance of a non-GaaS title at the 2024 Game Awards, which continues to receive ongoing support from its developers.
Astro Bot: A Platforming Masterpiece
Astro Bot, the beloved PlayStation exclusive, has been delivering free content to its players, solidifying its status as one of the best PS5 games. Developed by Team Asobi, this platforming gem has made history by winning numerous accolades, including several awards at the 2025 DICE Awards. The team’s commitment to enhancing the player experience is evident, as they have consistently rolled out additional content shortly after the game’s original launch.
Recently, Astro Bot introduced a new galaxy called Malicious Void, featuring four new levels designed to challenge players’ jumping skills. Two levels, Tick Tack Zap and Explosive Boost, are already available to explore. As Nicolas Doucet mentioned in a PlayStation Blog update, players can expect new special bots to rescue in each level, along with the opportunity to replay them in Time Trial mode, encouraging competition through an online ranking system. It is important to note that players must have completed the main game to access these exciting new levels.
