It’s a fine addition(s) to the PlayStation Secret Labo collection, showing that the nearly 5-year-old PS5 tech demo still hasn’t been left behind by Team Asobi.
Just yesterday, Team Asobi dropped a surprise update to Astro’s Playroom, as reported by Push Square. The PS5 Pro (and a couple other gatcha artifacts) have finally made its debut. The previous update for Astro’s Playroom was last September leading up to the launch of Astro Bot (via PSLF), with that update bringing the unlockable Special Bot based on Ape Escape.
While the PS5 Pro, released late last year, is positioned next to the PS5 Slim in the PlayStation Labo’s Secret Labo room, it’s joined by a couple new PlayStation artifacts. They are the PULSE Explore Wireless Earbuds and the PULSE Elite Wireless Headset. Oddly enough with the PS5 Pro, it is displayed without a disc drive in contrast to the PS5 Slim. Though after all, the Pro is advertised without the detachable disc drive.
These three additions are not the only surprises to Astro’s Playroom. Team Asobi and Sony also updated the menu icons for the pre-installed tech demo, both the icon in the PS5 menu and when players launch the game. One thing that remains the same is the menu music when highlighting the game in the PS5 menu.
Astro’s Playroom was released alongside the PlayStation 5 back on November 12, 2020.
