The director of Astro Bot, Nicolas Doucet, has recently hinted at a potential PC version of the game while firmly stating that it will not be coming to PlayStation VR2. Doucet expressed interest in hearing from PC players about their eagerness for the game's release on their platform, suggesting a willingness from the development team to consider it. However, he emphasized the significant differences between creating a flat-screen game and a VR one, clarifying that adapting Astro Bot to PSVR2 wouldn't be feasible due to these design challenges. This news may disappoint PSVR2 users searching for more substantial games to play on their headset, as many are already frustrated with the current lineup.

Will Astro Bot be available on PC?

While a PC version isn't officially confirmed, the director has expressed an interest in potentially bringing Astro Bot to the platform, leaving the option open for future developments.

Astro Bot is a popular franchise within the PlayStation ecosystem, known for its charming character designs and engaging platforming mechanics. The upcoming title serves as a direct sequel to Astro’s Playroom, a game that received positive reviews for its innovative use of the PlayStation 5's capabilities. As the gaming landscape evolves, Sony has increasingly sought to expand its titles beyond proprietary systems, making Astro Bot's potential PC release part of a larger trend among PlayStation exclusives transitioning to wider audiences.
