Why Astro Bot (2024) can trigger motion sickness

A 3D platformer keeps the camera moving as you run, jump and fly through levels. Astro Bot has no setting aimed at motion comfort in the sources opened. Its PlayStation Store accessibility list covers audio, controls and gameplay, with nothing for camera movement or visual effects. What you can do is keep the camera steady yourself: Camera assist lets you recenter it with one button press, and Controller tilt assist removes the motion-sensor sections.

  • Motion-sensor sections where you tilt the controller
  • No setting in the sources opened for motion blur, screen shake or field of view
