About “Astro’s Playroom”
“Astro’s Playroom” is a free game included with the PlayStation 5. Developed by Team Asobi, the game takes full advantage of the PS5’s DualSense controller, offering an immersive experience with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The game consists of four worlds, each designed to represent different components of the PS5, such as the GPU Jungle and SSD Speedway.
Players navigate through various levels, encountering power-up suits that provide different abilities. For example, the Monkey Suit allows Astro to climb walls using the adaptive triggers to feel the tension of the grip. Another power-up, the Rocket Suit, uses the adaptive triggers to control thrust, providing a realistic sensation of flight.

The “Days of Play” event is known for its community-centric activities and exclusive rewards. This year, PlayStation aims to engage its user base by setting collective goals that encourage widespread participation. The new PlayStation Stars Collectible, which players can unlock by meeting the game hour target in “Astro’s Playroom,” adds a layer of excitement and motivation.
PlayStation’s commitment to community engagement is evident through these initiatives, fostering a sense of camaraderie among players worldwide. By working together, players can achieve these goals and enjoy the rewards that come with their collective effort.
