In an exciting announcement, Team Asobi is set to delight fans of their acclaimed 3D platformer, Astro Bot, with a brand-new, free holiday-themed level titled “Winter Wonder.” Gamers who have completed the main adventure can look forward to experiencing this delightful installment starting Thursday evening.

While specific details about the level remain under wraps, the PlayStation blog promises a festive escapade filled with shiny presents, cheerful jingle bells, and an array of new special bots. This update aims to provide a fun and enjoyable experience for players of all ages, ensuring there are no overly challenging segments to disrupt the holiday spirit.

Team Asobi has established itself as Sony's premier developer for innovative gaming experiences. Prior to Astro Bot's release, they launched Astro's Playroom, which showcased the capabilities of the newly released PlayStation 5, and Astro Bot Rescue Mission, which was instrumental in highlighting the PlayStation VR headset’s capabilities.

Since its launch in Fall 2025, Astro Bot has received critical acclaim, with reviewers praising it as a “Nintendo-tier platformer.” It is even nominated for the prestigious Game of the Year award at The Game Awards, demonstrating the game's widespread recognition and popularity.

The introduction of the “Winter Wonder” level comes as a heartfelt gesture of gratitude from the development team towards the vibrant PlayStation community. Studio director Nicolas Doucet expressed their appreciation, stating, “Since releasing Astro Bot earlier this year on PlayStation 5, we have been overwhelmed by the wonderful feedback from you all. Thank you for celebrating our game with such enthusiasm; it truly means the world to us.”
