Astro’s Playroom: All Artifacts (& Where to Find Them)

The PlayStation 5 exclusive 3D platformer, Astro’s Playroom, features a number of collectible artifacts hidden across the game. These artifacts are pieces of PlayStation hardware like consoles, controllers, and accessories from the console’s history. Artifacts act as incentives for the player to hunt for secrets, collect coins, and complete all the levels.

Astro’s Playroom is made to show off different aspects of the PlayStation 5, from graphical fidelity, to load times, to the DualSense’s new adaptive triggers and rumble. Along with displaying what’s new with PS5, the game also acts as a time capsule of PlayStation’s history. As the player collects the jigsaw pieces and the artifacts, the PlayStation Labo becomes a museum, showing off different hardware and accessories from the many generations of PlayStation.

Astro’s Playroom features four levels, each level containing four sections. Every section has two artifacts the player can collect, and completing a level will reward the player with one of the four previous PlayStation consoles. Additionally, ten artifacts can be collected from the gacha machine in the PlayStation Labo. In total, there are forty artifacts that can be collected. This guide will go over where all the artifacts are and how to get them.

When pulled out, the player will be given the PlayStation Controller.

On top will be large cords, which will give the player the PlayStation Mouse.
