Team Asobi and Sony have previously touted the upcoming platformer as Astro’s biggest adventure to date.
Developer Team Asobi has previously described Astro Bot as a “really, really big game” – the biggest in the franchise so far, in fact – and that seemingly is going to be reflected in the game’s file size as well.
As spotted and shared on Twitter by user @Genki_JPN, photos of Astro Bot’s physical Japanese copy seem to suggest that the upcoming 3D platformer will require around 66 GB of free storage space. In comparison, Astro Bot Rescue Mission for the PS VR had a file size of roughly 8 GB, while the file size for Astro’s Playroom on PS5 was roughly 11 GB- so there’s quite a significant jump here.
Astro Bot is set to feature over 80 levels, more than 70 new enemy types, upwards of 300 bots to rescue, plenty of optional challenges, and more, so clearly it’s going to be a sizeable experience. 66 GB is, of course, a fairly average size for a modern game on PS5, so it’s still very much manageable.
Astro Bot launches on September 6 for PS5.
