When do Astro Bot’s speedrun DLC levels go live each week?

A series of free speedrun levels DLC are coming to Astro Bot across Oct. and Nov. 2024.

Each week for five weeks, a new speedrun level will be added to the game, complete with online leaderboards and two additional special bots to find, adding 10 to your overall roster.

This page explains the Astro Bot speedrun DLC schedule, what time each level goes live each day, the speedrun DLC level requirements, and the speedrun bots which have unlocked so far.

Update (Nov 1): Added the speedrun bots for Spring-loaded Run.

From Oct. 17 through Nov. 14, each new level will go live every Thursday at the following release time in your time zone:

The release schedule for each Astro Bot speedrun DLC level is as follows:

As mentioned, each level will add two additional special bots to your roster, all based on established PlayStation or third-party franchises.

Developer Asobi has confirmed you need to complete the story of Astro Bot before access to the speedrun levels become available.

Beyond that, each level is free to download — just make sure you have the latest version of the game up to date to access them. Then, you’ll find them in a dedicated “stopwatch” nebula, found near the final boss area and the Gorilla Nebula.

Once these speedrun levels have all rolled out, this is likely not the last update coming to Astro Bot, with VGC confirming 10 “challenge levels” on the way — something Asobi itself teased with the mention that “there may be even more surprises coming soon” following the speedrun DLC announcement.

What follows are all speedrun bots released so far, which are unlocked by beating the two birds in each level. Note the below list features spoilers for those hoping to discover these first-hand.
