Pre-order bonuses make Astro Bot an even more complete package than it already is, and to make Astro and the Dual Speeder flashier, additional cosmetics are available to you—so let’s claim them.
Astro Bot is out, and it’s safe to say Team Asobi’s efforts have been rewarded in droves with a large slew of perfect review scores and well-received praise. It’s expected you and many other players are going to jump on the bot bandwagon and enjoy platforming paradise.
The PlayStation exclusive has pre-order bonus incentives to pull you in even further, but unlike many other pre-order bonuses, Astro Bot‘s aren’t clear on how to obtain them.
How to claim Astro Bot pre-order bonuses
To claim your Astro Bot pre-order bonuses, you need to wait for the platformer’s official release to be eligible for the avatars, and the remaining two pieces of content require “game progression.”
Three items are included as part of Astro Bot pre-orders: The PaRappa the Rapper Lovestruck Lyricist outfit, a Glorious Graffiti skin for the Dual Speeder, and two PSN Avatars.
The two avatars should be added to your collection of PSN avatars as soon as Astro Bot is released, but PlayStation hasn’t confirmed this yet, so we’ll keep an eye on this in case this isn’t the method. For the remaining two items, PlayStation has reiterated that “Game progression [is] required to unlock” both the Outfit and Dual Speeder Color.
After playing Astro Bot, I can confirm you need to unlock new features throughout the platformer by collecting Puzzle Pieces. Collecting enough Pieces unlocks mini-buildings in the home hub Crash Site area. This includes a Gacha machine, the Safari Park, and additional buildings that offer other benefits, such as customizing Astro’s appearance and even the design etched on Astro’s Dual Speeder ship.
So, collect enough Puzzle Pieces in Astro Bot, unlock these new gameplay features, and the PaRappa the Rapper Lovestruck Lyricist outfit and Glorious Graffiti Dual Speeder color will eventually become yours.
