PlayStation State of Play Reveals New Spider-Man DLC, Ghost of Tsushima PC Port, and Astro Bot Sequel

Sony’s latest State of Play broadcast delivered a thrilling mix of surprise reveals, beloved franchise updates, and hardware expansions. From a new Spider-Man DLC to the long-awaited Ghost of Tsushima PC port and an exciting sequel for Astro Bot fans, it’s clear PlayStation is doubling down on its crowd-pleasers in 2024.

Kicking things off was the reveal of “Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions,” a story-driven DLC for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Insomniac Games teased a multiversal storyline that looks to expand upon the game’s post-credit teases, bringing back fan-favorite characters and introducing new threats across alternate timelines. Set for release this fall, the DLC will be exclusive to the PS5.

Fans eagerly awaiting Ghost of Tsushima on PC were finally rewarded as PlayStation announced a definitive edition of the critically acclaimed open-world samurai epic arriving on Steam and the Epic Games Store this August. Sucker Punch Productions confirmed that this version includes all previously released content, including the Iki Island expansion and a host of PC-specific enhancements like ultrawide support, unlocked frame rates, and full keyboard customizability. The move follows Sony’s continued trend of porting its first-party catalog to PC, as seen with titles like Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War.

Perhaps the most unexpected reveal of the showcase was the return of Astro Bot, this time in a full-length sequel titled “Astro Bot: Cosmic Courier.” Built as a follow-up to the fan-favorite Astro’s Playroom, which introduced players to the PS5’s hardware with charm and precision, this new adventure will send the lovable robot through space-inspired levels packed with new mechanics, DualSense integration, and character cameos from other PlayStation franchises. Team Asobi hinted that the game will be “significantly larger in scope,” promising a blend of platforming innovation and nostalgic reverence for PlayStation’s legacy when it launches this holiday season.

With a lineup that taps into both nostalgia and innovation, today’s State of Play cements Sony’s commitment to delivering premium experiences that span platforms and genres. It’s shaping up to be a banner year for PlayStation gamers.
