The company does not plan to incorporate co-op mode into the game, so it will remain a single-player title.
PSVR packs that include the Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Moss games (only available in the United States), as well as some of the boxes in the physical format edition of the Japan Studio title, indicate that Astro Bot it is compatible with up to 4 players (1-4 players) and that a good Internet connection is necessary to download the patch that enables local cooperative play, that is, on the same console. Well, this feature is not available and they do not plan to add it at the moment, since such messages are an error, as confirmed by the company to RoadToVR.
“We apologize for the printing error on our packaging indicating that Astro Bot Rescue Mission is a multiplayer game. There are currently no plans to add multiplayer features to the game,” comments the Sony spokesperson.
The cooperative mode seemed a feasible feature, since being through an update, it implied that it would arrive later and that therefore the analyses had not included it. Besides that The Playroom VR, game from which the idea of Astro Bot was born, had this option through the social screen.
For the time being, Japan Studio’s game will continue to be for a single player, something that has been enough to get high scores in the different analyses that he has received, including ours.
