Astro Bot Release-Day Delivery Is Still Available, But You'll Need To Preorder Soon

Astro Bot releases tomorrow, September 6, alongside a limited-edition DualSense controller.

13 Comments

Astro Bot releases tomorrow, September 6, and there's still time to get release-day delivery from multiple major retailers, including Amazon and Walmart. Astro Bot comes with an exclusive poster inside the box. The highly anticipated PS5-exclusive platformer is earning rave reviews. GameSpot's Astro Bot review awarded it a 9/10, and the platformer's current Metacritic average of 94 puts it in a tie with God of War: Ragnarok for the highest rated PlayStation 5 exclusive of all time. Unfortunately, the Astro Bot-themed DualSense controller is currently sold out.

Get Astro Bot on launch day

As of September 5 at 9:30 AM PT / 12:30 PM ET, here's what the Astro Bot preorder situation looks like.

  • Amazon - Free release-day delivery for Prime members
  • Walmart - Free release-day delivery
  • Best Buy - In-store pickup or ships for free on September 6
  • Target - In-store pickup, free delivery "on or shortly after" September 6
  • GameStop - In-store pickup, paid delivery "on or shortly after" September 6

Since going up for preorder on August 9, Astro Bot's Limited-Edition DualSense Controller has been hard to find. Retailers have restocked the controller multiple times over the last week, but the controller tends to sell out quickly each time.

We recommend checking these listings for the controller, as restocks have been dropping without notice at: Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Target, GameStop, Antonline, and PlayStation Direct.

Screw physical games, buy digital and it is available as quickly as you can download it. Before everyone responds….I could not care less about your opinions.

The astro bot mini game that came with the console was a fun little platformer. It really showed off the Dualsense controller, and some console features, and its graphics were amazing for a demo some 4 years ago.

I have no interest in the controller, it is cute, but not worth spending actual money on. Hope the game turns out like Little Big Planet and Sackboy. Every once and a while, I like playing a fun platformer. I think my lizard brain just loves the spatial timing, and movements an jumps... of games like that.

I was lucky enough to knab 2 of these on PS Direct. I looked on eBay afterwards and saw people trying to sell their preorder for $150. Anyone that buys something off eBay before the person even has it, is crazy, imo!

It would have been nice if design theme would be on the Dualsense Edge

This is significantly cooler than that hideous space-themed controller.
