by

Summary

  • The new PS5 bundle includes Astro Bot game and standard controller.
  • Astro Bot is one of the highest-rated games of all time, so it should make for a great pack-in title.
  • Pricing information and a specific release date have not been announced, but the bundle will launch at some point later this week.

Sony has unveiled a fresh PlayStation 5 package that includes the highly-praised 3D platformer game, Astro Bot. Following the launch of the PlayStation 5 in 2020, Sony has only recently introduced a limited number of exclusive console packages for its Standard, Digital, and Pro models.

Hey there, fellow gaming enthusiast! You know how I’ve been enjoying epic adventures with Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarok, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on my PS5? Well, there were whispers about a new PS5 bundle featuring the Game of the Year winner, Astro Bot. Guess what? Those rumors weren’t just that – they were real! Sony has officially confirmed that this exciting new bundle is on its way. Can’t wait to get my hands on it!

Based on updates from PlayStation’s social media platforms, a new PS5 console package is scheduled to release this week. This package includes a standard PS5 DualSense controller and “Astro Bot” as the included game. At present, only a Disc version of the bundle has been confirmed, though it’s likely the “Astro Bot” code will be digital. Sony hasn’t disclosed a specific launch date or pricing details for this new PS5 package yet, but it’s anticipated to retail for around $499.99. The price might be lower, but at this point, exact pricing information is still unknown. Notably, “Astro Bot” was named the 2024 Game of the Year and holds a 95 overall rating, making it one of the highest-rated games ever, so it should definitely enhance the PS5 bundle experience.

PS5 Bundle Includes Astro Bot

If you purchase the latest PS5 console bundle, you will not only obtain the popular game Astro Bot, but also Astro’s Playroom, which comes pre-installed on every new PS5 system. Although it’s Astro Bot that has been garnering much praise, the bundle includes Astro’s Playroom too. This game offers a brief yet delightful 3D platforming adventure, demonstrating the unique capabilities of the DualSense controller.

With Astro Bot proving to be a hit for Sony, it’s likely that the series will expand with additional games. Given the success of Astro Bot, Sony seems keen on producing more family-friendly content. Here’s hoping they bring back their classic 3D platformers sooner rather than later, as fans have been eagerly waiting for new adventures in the worlds of Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, and Sly Cooper, which have been absent for quite some time on newer hardware. Despite regular updates to the Ratchet & Clank series, Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper have received little attention and are certainly due for new adventures.
