How to get pre-order bonus items in Astro Bot

Astro Bot has a few pre-order bonus items you can claim in-game, with a few that exist as rewards outside of the actual game. With a pair of PSN icons, and some in-game rewards, all versions of the hit platformer came with a few extra goodies. However, it’s important to note that none of the items, whether they’re in the Digital Deluxe or simply pre-order, are exclusive.

The only exceptions to this are the 10 Astro Avatars, Soundtrack, and Digital Art Gallery - these are exclusive to special editions of the game. However, if you have Deluxe Edition extra content or pre-order bonus items, here’s how you can pick them up.

Astro Bot has a few fun pre-order bonus items to take advantage of, but they aren’t hidden behind the pre-order itself. These, like the Digital Deluxe rewards, simply give you access earlier than normal. Here are the pre-order bonuses:

• PaRappa Lovestruck Lyricist Outfit
• Glorious Graffiti Dual Speeder Paint Color
• 2 Astro Avatars for PSN

Depending on how fast you play Astro Bot, and how deep you get into this incredible platformer, you can unlock the bonus items for use in fairly quick order. The in-game items will not be accessible until you’ve unlocked certain places in your Crash Site hub world in the game.

To unlock the Glorious Graffiti Dual Speeder Paint Color, you need access to the Dual Speeder Garage. This requires you to find 32 Puzzle Pieces scattered throughout each of the game’s main stages. If you’re chasing the Astro Bot's Platinum trophy, it’s only a matter of time until you get this.

To use the PaRappa Lovestruck Lyricist outfit, you need to get 48 Puzzle Pieces. Then visit the garage, and pick a new color for the Dual Speeder!

Getting that number will unlock the Changing Room and allow you to wear any costumes you’ve unlocked. Just visit this room at the Crash Site, and you will then be able to wear the PaRappa outfit anytime, without having to unlock it in the Gacha machine. The Digital Deluxe items unlock in the same fashion as the pre-order bonus items in Astro Bot. Those items are as follows:

• Astro’s Yharnam Tourist outfit
• Astro’s Golden Outfit
• Neon Dream Dual Speeder paint color
• Champion’s Gold Dual Speeder paint color
• Official Soundtrack & Digital Art Gallery
• 10 Astro Avatars on PSN

Purchasing either edition simply means that players can get these items faster than normal. They don’t influence gameplay either and merely look very cool. Once Astro Bot unlocks on September 6, 2024, all players can unlock these items, depending on which version of the game they purchased.
