Following a recent leak, PlayStation has officially announced the availability of PS5 Slim Astro Bot bundles. These bundles can be purchased from various retailers such as Amazon, PlayStation Direct, and others. The exciting news is that PlayStation is offering these bundles at a $50 discount compared to purchasing the PS5 Slim separately. The Astro Bot PS5 Slim bundle with a disc drive is priced at $450, while the PS5 Slim Digital bundle is priced at $400. Considering that Astro Bot typically retails for $60, customers can save $110 by opting for the bundle instead of buying the console and game separately.
Given the popularity of PS5 bundle deals, it is expected that these Astro Bot bundles may sell out quickly. As of March 13, Amazon currently has both the PS5 Slim Astro Bot bundle and the PS5 Slim Digital Astro Bot bundle in stock. These bundles are also available at Best Buy and PlayStation Direct. Customers purchasing these bundles will find a voucher inside the box that can be used to redeem the digital version of Astro Bot from the PlayStation Store.
Astro Bot received widespread acclaim following its release last year. Developed by Team Asobi, this platforming game was lauded for its engaging level design, polished gameplay, and innovative use of the DualSense controller features. It was recognized as one of GameSpot’s top 10 games of 2024 and even won the prestigious Game of the Year award at the Game Awards hosted by Geoff Keighley.
Every PS5 console includes Astro’s Playroom, a launch title that offers a few hours of gameplay and showcases the unique capabilities of the DualSense controller. Playing Astro’s Playroom before delving into Astro Bot’s main adventure can provide a solid foundation and enhance the overall gaming experience.
