We know for some time now that Astro's Playroom will be included in the PS5. It will be a free game that will serve as a technical demo and, it seems that it will be longer than we had thought at first. At least, that's what Nicolas Doucet from Sony Japan Studio says in an interview in Famitsu.

It seems that we'll be able to travel through four different worlds: a tourist resort, a jungle, a track and a world in the sky. Each level will be aimed at showing and explaining in depth the main innovations of the console. One of them will delve into the capabilities of the GPU, another into the SSD and another into the console's cooling features.

And, of course, the DualSense and its haptic vibration, one of the most promoted aspects of PS5, and that these small Astrobot will teach us how to use.

The PlayStation 5 will launch on November 10th.
