Astro Bot Trophy List: A Peek into PlayStation Cameos
A newly unveiled list of Astro Bot trophies has shed light on the exciting integration of PlayStation cameos in the upcoming game. Featuring over 150 characters from the PlayStation universe, the game promises diverse interactions between the main character, Astro, and these iconic figures.
Trophy Details and PlayStation References
The complete trophy list, published on Exophase, comprises 44 trophies, each cleverly referencing PlayStation icons through puns and creative descriptions. Players can look forward to engaging in various activities such as dancing, battling, and taking photos with robotic renditions of beloved PlayStation characters, settings, and artifacts.

Engaging with PlayStation Icons: Dancing with Crash Bandicoot & Combat with Horizon Weapons
Evolution from Astro’s Playroom
Team Asobi, known for its adept use of cameos, continues this tradition with the new Astro Bot game. Their previous title, Astro’s Playroom, was rich with Easter eggs, featuring bot versions of famous PlayStation characters in static roles. However, the latest trophy list hints at a more interactive approach, where these PlayStation bots become actively involved in gameplay.
Playful References to Iconic PlayStation Titles
Several trophies incorporate playful nods to well-known PlayStation games. For example, players can earn a trophy by defeating ravens in “Bot of War” (a nod to God of War), collecting eggs in “Dude Raiding” (a reference to Tomb Raider), or dancing with an “iconic marsupial” in “Crash Site” (alluding to Crash Bandicoot). Another challenge involves defeating a specific number of enemies using the Tripcaster weapon from Horizon Zero Dawn.
Exploring Other Game Worlds
Astro Bot will also transport players into the worlds of other games. One such adventure involves catching a gold butterfly in “Apes On The Loose” (from Ape Escape). The “Crash Site” mentioned in multiple trophy descriptions likely connects to Crash Bandicoot, which is particularly intriguing given that the license now belongs to Microsoft.
Anticipated Cameos from Beloved PlayStation Titles
Given Team Asobi’s longstanding partnership with Sony as a first-party studio, fans can anticipate numerous familiar faces. Alongside the explicitly referenced titles, players can expect appearances from Uncharted, Ico, Ratchet & Clank, and other celebrated PlayStation franchises. Astro Bot is set for release on September 6 as a PS5 exclusive.
