The Playroom VR for PS4	PlayStation VR	This 3D platformer is a minigame in the 2016 VR collection.

From AR Bots to Astro’s first stage

The Playroom on PS4 introduced the AR Bots with the PlayStation Camera in 2013. The Playroom VR included the playable precursor Robots Rescue in 2016. Astro Bot Rescue Mission followed with a standalone campaign in 2018.

Control the hero with the DualShock 4. Use the hookshot at marked points to cross gaps and pull away obstacles. In local co-op, the second player controls the UFO on the TV and uses the touchpad to power the two fans.

20 Mini Bots in one run

Bots	Section and route
1–5	Rescue the first bot at the opening checkpoint, then search left and right after the first gap. Before the first ranged enemy, check the bushes to the right and grapple to the platform above.
6–8	At the first fan, the TV player holds the touchpad to keep the metal gate open. After rescuing the bot inside, check by the ranged enemy before the slide and the platform on the right by the spiked enemy after it.
9–12	Check the end of the rope into the cave, then left below the path and above the first bounce pad. Outside the cave, open the right-hand hole with the hookshot.
13–16	In the rolling-enemy section, bounce from the left pad to the upper right. At the second fan, the TV player moves the platform with Astro on it. Look below that area for another bot at the foot of the cliff, then check the crumbling boulders.
17–20	There is a bot up on the right before the big blocked opening. Right in front of the opening, check left and then up to the right by the bounce pads. The last bot is beside the two spiked enemies before the final slide.

Balloon and 350 coins

At the finish, let the rescued bots jump onto the platform. Then use the touchpad to fling the hero at the balloon. For the coin objective, collect coins along the route and at the balloon and avoid hits that cost coins.

Unlocks & rewards
