Sony Interactive Entertainment and Team ASOBI have announced that they will release the first in a series of five weekly updates for Astro Bot starting from Thursday, 17 October 2024.

Each Astro Bot update will add a new speedrun level with two new Special Bots to rescue.

The Astro Bot update schedule is as follows:

• 17 October – “Building Speed” speedrun level
• 24 October – “Let it Slide” speedrun level
• 31 October – “Spring-loaded Run” speedrun level
• 7 November – “Helium Heights” speedrun level
• 14 November – “Rising Heat” speedrun level

All updates will be available at 9 pm GMT+8 every Thursday starting from 17 October 2024.

These levels will test your platforming skills and alongside an online leaderboard, will give you the chance to compete against all your PlayStation friends. In the new Building Speed level, with the help of Barkster, the bulldog booster, you will blast your way through a sky-high city. Dodge cranes, smash through crates and even speed through a flying car wash on the way to rescue your stranded crew.
