PS5’s Astro Bot Marketing Onslaught Starting in Busy Shopping Mall

Sony is sometimes accused of poor marketing, but when a game matters to the company, it always goes all out. Itā€™s looking like a bulk of its spend this holiday will be concentrated onĀ Astro Bot, as it readies promotional displays around the world. In Taiwan specifically, youā€™ll find an enormous replica of the eponymous android hanging out around the Citylink Mall located just above Taipei Nangang subway station. This is next to a convention centre, so thereā€™s always plenty of foot traffic through the area.

In addition to a giant Astro Bot replica, thereā€™ll be PS5 demo stations for those passing by to try the title, as well as a photo booth and the promise of prizes. Those who complete certain challenges will be entered into a prize draw for valuables such as a Bravia television, PS Portals, PS5 consoles, and Astro Bot DualSense controllers. Thereā€™ll also be a sticker pack available while stocks last.
