Astro Bot for PlayStation 5 is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 6,400, supplied as a brand new and sealed physical disc. Team Asobi developed Astro Bot and Sony Interactive Entertainment published it in September 2024. The game sends you across more than 50 planets to rescue 300 lost bots and rebuild a crashed mothership. Astro Bot won Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024. The disc installs straight onto your console with no download code, so play can begin the same day it arrives. Collect your copy at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Parents looking for a PS5 title the whole household can enjoy will find Astro Bot an easy choice. It carries an ESRB Everyone 10+ rating, has no spoken dialogue, and shows menus in 30 languages. Families in Kileleshwa, Karen, and South B tell us the game fills a Saturday afternoon without any awkward scenes to skip. Teenagers and adults get something too, because later levels test timing and precision far harder than the cheerful look suggests. Astro Bot also shows what the DualSense controller can really do, which makes it a strong first game for a new console.
Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International lets you inspect the shrink-wrap and disc label at our counter before you pay. A disc copy also sidesteps a common Kenyan headache, because buying Astro Bot digitally means setting up a foreign PlayStation Store account and topping it up with gift cards. Customers across Nairobi report that the disc is simpler to buy, lend to a cousin, or resell later. Order Astro Bot by WhatsApp for same-day delivery within Nairobi, or pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Astro Bot
Is Astro Bot worth KSh 6,400 in Kenya?
Yes, Astro Bot at KSh 6,400 is one of the strongest value PS5 discs Mascom International stocks for families and platformer fans. You get more than 50 planets, 300 bots to find, and five extra levels Sony added free in March 2025. The game also won Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024, beating far bigger productions. Because it is a disc, you keep the right to resell it later, which recovers part of the price when you finish.
Does the Astro Bot disc work on a PS5 Slim, PS5 Pro, or Digital Edition?
The Astro Bot disc plays on any PS5 that has a working disc drive, including the original model and the PS5 Slim with disc drive. The PS5 Pro and the Digital Edition ship without a built-in drive, so they need the separate PlayStation 5 Disc Drive attached first. The game does not run on a PS4. If you are unsure which console you own, send Mascom International a photo on WhatsApp and our team will confirm.
Is Astro Bot suitable for children, and what age rating does it carry?
Astro Bot carries an ESRB Everyone 10+ rating for crude humour and fantasy violence, which in practice means cartoon robots bumping enemies. There is no blood, no bad language, and no spoken dialogue, so younger children follow the game through pictures and sound alone. Kids under ten usually manage the early planets with a parent nearby. Later challenge levels get hard, so an older sibling or parent can take the controller for the trickier jumps.
Astro Bot vs Assassin's Creed Shadows, which PS5 game should you buy?
Choose Astro Bot if you want a bright, family-friendly platformer that anyone in the house can pick up in minutes. Assassin's Creed Shadows is a mature open-world action game set in feudal Japan, rated for adults because of its violence. The two games suit quite separate players rather than competing directly. Many Mascom International customers buy Astro Bot for the children and a mature title for themselves, then swap discs on weekends.
How much content does Astro Bot include?
Astro Bot includes more than 50 planets spread across several galaxies, with 300 bots to rescue and return to your crashed ship. Many rescued bots are cameo characters from PlayStation history, which gives long-time fans a reason to search every corner. Sony added five new levels at no extra cost in March 2025. Completionists can chase hidden puzzle pieces and tough challenge stages long after the main story ends, so one disc lasts weeks.
Do power cuts or slow internet affect Astro Bot in Kenya?
Astro Bot is a single-player game that runs fully offline once installed, so a weak connection never interrupts a level. Progress saves automatically as you clear levels, so a sudden KPLC outage costs you only the stage you were playing. Free updates do need an internet connection, and Safaricom Home Fibre or Zuku handles them comfortably overnight. Pairing your console with a small UPS, which Mascom International also stocks, protects both your progress and the PS5.
Who should buy Astro Bot, and who should skip it?
Astro Bot suits families, younger gamers, new PS5 owners, and anyone who loves classic platformers in the style of Super Mario. Skip it if you want couch co-op or online multiplayer, because the adventure is built for one player only. Gamers who prefer mature stories, open worlds, and combat-heavy action will get more from a title like Assassin's Creed Shadows. Ask Mascom International on WhatsApp for help matching a disc to your household.
How does Astro Bot use the DualSense controller?
Astro Bot uses haptic feedback so you feel rain, sand, ice, and metal through the DualSense grips as you walk across each surface. Adaptive triggers add resistance during certain power-ups, and the built-in controller speaker plays small sound effects right in your hands. Some moments ask you to blow into the microphone or tilt the controller. These touches make Astro Bot a good showcase for anyone who has just bought a PS5 from Mascom International.
Is the physical Astro Bot disc better than buying it on the PlayStation Store?
For most Kenyan buyers, the Astro Bot disc is easier than the digital version. Kenya has no local PlayStation Store, so a digital purchase means a UK or US account and foreign gift cards. The disc avoids that, and you can lend it to friends or resell it once finished. A digital copy only makes sense if your console has no disc drive. Mascom International sells PlayStation gift cards if you prefer that route.
