Astro Bot, the critically-acclaimed 3D platformer for PS5 and 2024 Game of the Year winner, continues to receive brand-new content at absolutely no cost to the consumer. Team Asobi’s previous work on the franchise meant that many expectedAstro Botto be a great game, but it’s safe to say that few expected it to solidify itself as 2024’s highest-rated new game release and win the coveted Game of the Year award at The Game Awards 2024.
Astro Botearned universal acclaimand won more than just Game of the Year at the 2024 Game Awards.Astro Botalso took home the awards for Best Game Direction, Best Action-Adventure Game, and Best Family Game. Far and away one of the best pure PlayStation 5 exclusives released to date,Astro Botis easily one of the top games on Sony’s platform.
Considering the dizzying successAstro Bothas enjoyed, Team Asobi could have simply moved on to its next project. Instead, the studio has continued to release new content updates forAstro Bot, adding fresh levels to the game completely free of charge. All theAstro BotDLC has been free, adding new speedrun levels to the game,a new Christmas-themed level, and 10 new challenge levels. These post-launch additions have increased the number of levels inAstro Botto over 90. While other games would have charged players for the privilege of playing new levels,Astro BotDLC has cost $0 so far.
Astro Bot is the Gift That Keeps on Giving
Thelatest batch ofAstro Botlevelswere announced at the June 2025 PlayStation State of Play and added to the game on Thursday, July 10. They were revealed a whopping four months after the previous levels were distributed, so it’s always possible that even more levels could be announced for the beloved game. But even if no newAstro Botlevels are added, the game has given players their money’s worth and then some.
Some fans may want Team Asobi to focus its efforts on its next project instead of continuing to release new levels forAstro Bot, which is understandable. Team Asobi’s next game has not been announced, but since the studio has worked exclusively on theAstrofranchise, it’s a safe bet that it will be a sequel. Alternatively,Sony has already started talking about the PlayStation 6, and maybe Team Asobi is working on anAstro’s Playroomfollow-up for the new console. It’s anyone’s guess at this point, but in the meantime,Astro Botfans can try to master the latest levels added to the game.
