Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is a platform adventure game developed by SIE Japan Studio, released in 2018 exclusively for PlayStation VR. Players control Astro, a captain robot tasked with traveling through space to locate and rescue a crew of scattered bots. The game is built entirely around VR, using the headset's perspective as a core part of its spatial design rather than as an add-on feature. Levels are constructed so that the player's physical viewpoint becomes part of the environment, allowing Astro to interact with the world in ways tied directly to where the player is looking. The rescue premise drives progress across multiple stages set in various cosmic environments, with platforming challenges and exploration forming the foundation of gameplay. It stands as one of the more prominent original titles designed specifically for the PlayStation VR platform.
