Among the many launch titles available for PS5, its arguable that one title has slipped through the cracks among heavy hitters like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and the Demon’s Souls remake. That title is Astro’s Playroom, which follows the little robotic characters first introduced in The Playroom on PS4.
Astro’s Playroom is a shorter experience that mainly acts as a showcase for the enhanced hardware of the PS5 and the DualSense controller. Now, the official PlayStation YouTube channel has released a brand new PS5 gameplay trailer for Astro’s Playroom.
It’s very likely that Astro’s Playroom is going to be the very first title that many players who purchased the PS5 at launch dive into. Considering it’s a free, pre-loaded PS5 game at launch Astro’s Playroom is an extremely enticing premise. While many players are most likely going to pick up or download some additional launch titles on the PS5, Astro’s Playroom will be fully downloaded and ready to go while players wait on their other titles to download. To entice players further, the new Astro’s Playroom trailer does an excellent job at showcasing the wider appeal of this pack-in title.
Astro’s Playroom is another platformer title featuring the Astro Bot characters that PlayStation has adopted in recent console generations. Players control an Astro Bot through a variety of different levels and environments using different powers and abilities. The new trailer showcases what players can expect from Astro’s Playroom in terms of gameplay, along with a glimpses of a variety of different levels throughout the game. Early reviews for Astro’s Playroom rate the game pretty highly, praising its DualSense controller integration and availability despite it’s short length.
Astro’s Playroom is an interesting pack-in title because it seems like a game that would appeal to different players for different reasons. It may appeal to the hardcore PS5 player base as a high-quality showcase of what the DualSense controller is really capable of. Apparently, Astro’s Playroom helped design PS5’s DualSense controller and its enhanced features are used to great effect throughout the game. On the other hand, more casual players might be drawn to Astro’s Playroom simply for its inherent accessibility, in terms of both price and gameplay.
Though some players may be turned off by the game’s overall length, as Astro’s Playroom is reportedly just 4-5 hours long, the short run-time may also be one of the game’s strongest assets. A free, bite-sized experience that players can run through in one sitting to get familiar with their brand new hardware seems like just the right appetizer before bigger titles like Demon’s Souls. Should players want a better idea of what Astro’s Playroom has in store, the recent gameplay trailer may be just what they need to sell them on the experience.
Astro’s Playroom launches November 12, exclusively for PlayStation 5.
