Beating Astro Bot on the PS5 has uncovered an epic Easter egg referencing some of PlayStation’s most iconic symbols. This is another amazing reference to PlayStation’s greatest IPs and again displays the incredible attention to detail Team Asobi put into the 3D platformer.
Astro Bot has gotten off to a great start
And the game is so far out that, even after getting an official worldwide release on 6 September, Astro Bot has still very quickly become highly acclaimed both by critics and players. The latter can, for example, be seen in the Metacritic website’s top 100 list – where games are ranked based on their reviews – and now it can be found in a considerable position. Besides critical acclaim, Astro Bot enjoys a wide audience and has reportedly sold the game well across several regions. Another reason why the game is such an achievement is it celebrates PlayStation. Fans are crazy about all the clever references to other PlayStation franchises, and the latest find doesn’t disappoint.
PlayStation-themed rain in Astro Bot
The players recently found a very cool element with the rain in Astro Bot. OlleWhite, in a post on Reddit, shared a video with this rather odd feature: the droplets coalesce to form PlayStation symbols when falling and hitting the ground – circles, squares, crosses, and triangles. He or she labeled the game “ridiculous” while showing just how astonishing the attention to detail is.
Although it’s a very tiny and apparently insignificant feature, so fans have quite ignored it in their playthroughs. Nonetheless, thanks to OlleWhite’s video, more fans have taken notice of this Easter egg. The Reddit post has garnered more than 34K upvotes with a majority saluting the developers for their passion and effort. Some players noted that this neat feature was included in Astro’s Playroom, another game featuring the endearing Astro Bot, which was a PS5 pack-in.
More Secrets to Discover with Astro Bot
Astro Bot, being a rather new game, is sure to unearth many of its secret details as the players go through the game. Team Asobi most certainly put considerable effort into the smallest game elements, and for die-hard fans, it is such a joy to play. Even though these little details might not be so much to the individual’s game, they give it such depth and charm that many enthusiasts feel that PlayStation deserves.
On the horizon for Astro Bot is a new DLC.
Adding to the already existent content, there is also much to look forward to from fans of Astro Bot as new DLC approaches. These were announced within the September State of Play, through which five speedrun levels are to be included, 10 additional bots to rescue, and VIP bots exclusive only to the title. Already with high attention to detail in the game, this DLC promises to bring much more fun references to PlayStation classics that players will find within the game for the first time.
Designed with a meticulous eye for detail and a love for PlayStation history, this game continues to impress fans while proving to be a standout title for the PS5.
