Owners of a brand-new PlayStation 5 might notice that they’ve received an extra game in their library for free: Astro’s Playroom. This game was created by Japan Studio to show off the DualSense controller’s interesting new features, but the team went above and beyond to make this so much more than a fun collection of minigames.
It might be tempting to skip out on Astro’s Playroom entirely and play something like Spider-Man: Miles Morales or Demon’s Souls to test out your shiny new console, but that would be a tragic mistake. This is one of the most fun experiences you can have on a PlayStation 5 right now
Astro’s Playroom puts you in the bright blue boots of Astro Bot, a little robot with enough peppy energy to match the Road Runner. The game has Astro tour through different worlds, each themed after a specific component of the PS5. For example, the console’s cooling system is represented via Cooling Springs, an area that shifts from sunny beaches to icy floes. It’s such a gorgeous place, and a great example of how just one of these worlds can offer so much environmental variety. I spent a ton of time on the beach alone, exploring its waters and unlocking secrets.
