The game was developed by Team Asobi, an internal studio owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released in 2018 and quickly became recognized as one of the defining masterpieces of the PSVR platform.
How does Astro Bot Rescue Mission utilize VR mechanics?
Rather than just placing the player inside a headset, the game uses a third-person perspective where the player's own head acts as a camera in the world. Players must physically lean, dodge, and use the DualShock 4 controller as a tool to interact with the environment and help Astro progress.
Is Astro Bot Rescue Mission related to the character in Astro's Playroom?
Yes, Captain Astro is the exact same robot character that later starred in Astro's Playroom and Astro Bot Rescue Mission. The success of the VR title directly led to Team Asobi making Astro the unofficial mascot for PlayStation hardware.
