Update: We're still days away from the release of Astro Bot on PS5, but if you go looking for it, you can quite easily find a wealth of gameplay footage online. As noted in our original coverage (which you can still read below), people have been streaming Astro Bot on sites like Twitch and Kick, having managed to get their hands on early copies of the game.
Clips from those streams are now being passed around on social media, and although Sony seems to be shutting the leaks down as quickly as it can, there's basically no stopping them at this point. YouTube has also been hit with a wave of Astro Bot videos — some of which run through entire worlds and levels.
In short, if you want to head into Astro Bot blind this Friday, you may want to exercise caution when browsing your usual pages.
Original Story: Astro Bot doesn't release until the 6th September — this Friday! — but it would appear that physical copies of the game are already out in the wild. Various social media posts confirm that a handful of lucky fans have managed to track the PS5 title down — and some of them have even been able to stream the game online, through sites like Twitch.
Naturally, this means that spoilers could be heading our way, so caution is advised. While we doubt that Astro Bot will have any huge plot twists, there are definitely elements of the adventure that could be spoiled — like PlayStation character cameos and surprising gameplay moments that you'd much rather experience for yourself.
Here's hoping that spoilers are kept to a minimum over the next few days, then. For what it's worth, we're currently playing through Astro Bot for review purposes — and we can promise that said review will be spoiler-free!
