Astro Bot Rescue Mission is a 2018 platform video game developed and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4's PlayStation VR headset. It stars a cast of robot characters first introduced in The Playroom, where they appeared as little robots that lived inside of the DualShock 4 controller and the white and blue robot from the Robots Rescue mini-game from The Playroom VR who is given the name Astro Bot. In the game, the player teams up with Captain Astro and goes on a quest to rescue his lost crew scattered across different worlds.
The game was released in October 2018 and received critical acclaim, with praise for the game's use of the DualShock 4 and its varied level design. It is the first game in the Astro Bot series, and was followed by Astro's Playroom in 2020 and Astro Bot in 2024.
