How Astro Bot Rose From Tech Demo To Become A Hero (Retrospective)

#astrobot #gaming #retrospective #playstation

Astro Bot started as a character designed to demonstrate the power of the PlayStation’s flagship technology and new hardware within various in-built tech demos and mini games starting with the Playstation 4.

Many years on from his initial debut though, Astro has gone from an unnamed side character, to arguably one of the PlayStation’s most widely recognisable mascots and the hero of his own self-titled adventures.

But how did we get here? And what is the story behind Astro, and how he rose from simple tech demos to become a hero of his own self-titled adventures such as Astro Bot Rescue Mission, and Astro Bot.

Join me, and let's explore the history and rise of the hero Astro Bot.
