Why Astro Bot needs a PlayStation 5

Team Asobi has never ported a game to PC, and Sony has confirmed Astro Bot will stay on console.

What Ploud changes

The game runs on a physical console reserved for you, not on a cloud library subject to a publisher's approval. You buy Astro Bot on the PlayStation Store with your account, it installs once on the 200 GB assigned to you, and it waits for you from one session to the next.
