What is Astro's Playroom?

You might not be familiar with Astro as a character, but they were the star of the VR game Astro Bot Rescue Mission.

Astro's Playroom is a sequel to the game, and will have you platforming your way through 3D environments and probably marvelling at how pretty the whole thing looks while no doubt making the most of the new DualSense features.

We're assuming you won't have to play the first game to enjoy this one, but there will probably be a few nods to the original game for adoring VR fans.
