PlayStation’s ‘Astro Bot’ Is Already Missing A Huge PS5 Opportunity

, and interestingly enough, it’s not a ‘full-priced’ first-party PS5 game. That $10 reduction says a lot in terms of how Sony is positioning this brand new platformer—as in, they believe it has more standalone purchasing power than the $39.99The standard physical and digital editions will run you a slightly discounted $59.99 a piece, while the deluxe digital variant pops back up to the expected $69.99. The latter does include secondary intangible goodies, though.

But I’m thinking even bigger and better: Why not release a DualSense that has wings and thrusters which flip out like the in-game Dual Speeder model? Hell, make it a hybrid controller/Transformer with lights and sounds, and watch waves of eager orders flow like robotic wine into the PlayStation website.can both have their own bespoke DualSenses, then our boy Astro definitely deserves something awesome to commemorate his jump to a full, sprawling 3D adventure.
