How to access speedrun DLC levels in Astro Bot

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.
