Summary
Astro Botis not only a fantastic platformer, but one that celebratesPlayStation’s history with its growing roster of Bots pulling from games many haven’t thought about for years or maybe hadn’t heard of at all. If you have been reminded of an old game by an Astro Bot Bot, or happened upon a character whose games you’d like to go back and play for the first time,PlayStation Plusnow has a section dedicated to games represented by Bots in Astro Bot.
Spotted by IGN’s Kevin Diaz, the aptly-named Astro Bot Cameos section includes the games represented by Bots in what appear to be the order they can be found with the characters that have their own levels taking precedence. Minor spoilers for Astro Bot’s PlayStation mascot-themed levels, but theApe Escapeone comes first, thenGod Of War,Uncharted, and so on, as represented by the order of the games in the Astro Bot Cameos PS Store section.
Even though it’s set to default, when I checked the section myself, the games were in an entirely different order. As with any sections on PS Plus, the games can be ordered by release date or platform, whichever you prefer.

Even though I’ve rolled credits on the game, a quick look at the titles included in the Cameos collection has revealed some of the Bots I’m yet to find. I don’t recall rescuingReturnal’s Selene Bot yet, for example, although I was fairly certain she’d be in there. I also didn’t realize that some of the golf stuff in Astro Bot was a reference to Everybody’s Golf which is available on PS Plus Extra.
PlayStation does appear to have stuck to games you can play through PS Plus for now with the likes ofGod Of War Ragnarokmissing from the Astro Bot Cameos collection.Helldivers 2andRise Of The Roninaren’t in there either, although those two were only added to the game last week.Days Goneis in there toowhich I’m sure John Garvin is thrilled about.
