Use our handy walkthrough to pick up every puzzle piece and artifact in Astro's Playroom's Memory Meadow.

Every PlayStation 5 comes fully equipped with a pre-downloaded digital copy of Astro’s Playroom. While this game is meant to introduce gamers to the new features of the DualSense controller, it’s also a heartfelt journey down memory lane that highlights many of Sony’s triumphs in the gaming industry.

Astro will explore four main levels that are split up into four sub-levels. Each sub-level contains four puzzle pieces and two PlayStation artifacts for you to find. Throughout this guide, we’ll explain how to find all the collectibles hidden in Memory Meadow.

The first area of Memory Meadow is called Gusty Gateway. You’ll spawn in a field with flowers blooming and little robot critters running around.

Right away, move forward up the platform to the left to access the tightrope. Walk across the tightrope and jump across the bridge to reach the first puzzle piece.

Jump down from the platform where you found the first puzzle piece and continue moving forward. Kill the two enemies blocking the path and walk toward the right.

A giant cloud will be blowing wind from the right side to try and knock you off the map. Fight against the wind and jump to get the second puzzle piece, but be careful you don’t blow away.

Keep moving forward across the tightrope to reach the next checkpoint. Climb up the platforms and super punch the flower propeller to bring up a rotating platform. Jump on the platform, but be careful of the cloud nearby that will try to blow you off.

Hover to the ledge next to the cloud and walk up the ledges around the wall to reach some exposed wires. Pull the wires to receive the PlayStation Controller artifact.

After picking up the PlayStation Controller artifact, jump down to reach the next checkpoint and slide down the grassy ramp. There will be a platform that can be accessible by a trampoline and a group of Astros playing around.

To the right will be a mud pit with an Astro impersonating Death Stranding. Walking through the mud will slow down your movement considerably, but keep walking toward the left and you’ll find the third puzzle piece.

Once you’re finished playing in the mud pit, use the trampoline to jump to the top of the platform and then jump on the moving PlayStation controller clouds. Instead of jumping to the left, jump to the rock ledge in front of you to climb up the cliff.

You’ll find some PlayStation coins and some exposed wires that’ll pull up a canister to throw at enemies. Keep climbing to the very top of the platform to find another set of exposed wires that will get you the PlayStation Mouse artifact.

Jump back down to the main path and defeat the enemies before pulling the wires along the rock wall to pull out platforms to climb on. Use the trampoline to reach the next area where a giant cloud will attempt to blow you off the edge.

Keep moving forward and Astro will bring out a nifty umbrella for the rain. Defeat the enemies in front of you and then hover jump to the ledge with the bot sitting. Jump again to the right to reach the fourth puzzle piece.

When you arrive in Fastlane Fields, you’ll hop into a giant ball and use the center pad of the DualSense controller to roll around. After collecting all the coins in the initial area, there will be a ramp to the left of the field.

The top of the ramp will be empty until you roll up to it and then a line of PlayStation coins with appear. When you roll underneath, the first puzzle piece will appear as well.

After you finish collecting everything in the first initial area, roll down the main path. The ground will shift from the smooth path surrounded by fields to a more realistic street tar.

You don’t need to go far or do much exploring to find the second puzzle piece. Almost right when you reach the tar path, the second puzzle piece will be on the left-hand side of the street.

Continue down the street until it turns back into a field. You’ll see a giant robotic bunny hopping back and forth. The path will split with one way being bumpier and mud spots and another that’s smooth but has no railings.

Go left down the smooth path and carefully roll along the path without falling off the side. At the end of the path, you’ll receive the PlayStation Memory Card artifact.

After you get the PlayStation Memory Card artifact, drop down to the checkpoint and then roll down the hill into the giant bowling pin. There will be a bounce strip behind it that will launch Astro over to the next platform.

First, head to the right and you’ll see a moving platform. Carefully position the ball on the platform and then roll over to the connecting platform to reach the other side to collect the PlayStation Game Disc artifact.

Once you’ve collected the PlayStation Game Disc artifact, head back to the left and then use the launcher to get to the higher platform. Hit the next launcher and you’ll reach the next checkpoint with a giant hill.

Continue to the right, but be careful because there isn’t a railing. Use the launcher at the end of the path to reach the third puzzle piece.

Head down the hill and there will be two giant clouds that will blow you down the path and prevent you from falling off the edge. While you’re rolling down this path, you don’t have to use the center pad at all because the momentum of the clouds will push Astro along the path automatically.

After you hit the first launcher, press down on the center pad to stop rolling. Position yourself to hit the separate side launcher on the right-hand side to reach the fourth and final puzzle piece.

The final sub-level of Memory Meadow is Electrocloud. The entire area looks as if Astro is in the middle of a giant thunderstorm in the sky. When you first arrive, defeat the enemies and proceed down the main path. You’ll jump across two grey clouds, but don't spend too much time on them because they’ll disappear after a few seconds. Be careful of the trio of exposed wires, as one of them will pull out an enemy.

Pull the wires on the side of the cloud wall to bring out three stepping platforms to reach the next area. Instead of heading toward the near checkpoint, turn left and use the hidden trampoline to jump up the platform. Blow into the DualSense controller to make the fan reveal a new area behind some clouds. Jump across the clouds, past the Ghost of Tsushima Astro and you’ll see the first puzzle piece on a platform to the left.

After getting the puzzle piece, continue jumping to each cloud along the path. There will be a few enemies that will try to stop you but swiftly knock them aside.

Continue moving forward until you reach the end of the path with some exposed wires. Pull the wires to receive the PlayStation LCD Monitor artifact.

Once you get the artifact, there will be a giant duck balloon that will carry you back to the main path by blowing into the DualSense controller. Head back to the near checkpoint and defeat the electric enemy guarding the glass button.

Use your hover lasers to break the glass, then click the button to activate the platform. The platform will move through a field of electrified enemies that you’ll need to dodge. Along the way, the second puzzle piece will be in the middle of the enemies to grab.

When you reach the other side, there will be a slew of enemies. After you take care of the initial batch of baddies, continue moving forward but be wary of the rotating electrified platforms.

Make your way along the main path until you reach four electrified platforms in a cross pattern. Lightning will strike periodically and switch between the four platforms, so time your jump perfectly and grab the third puzzle piece that’s floating in the center of the platform.

When you reach the checkpoint, turn left and continue walking past the electrified platforms. Climb up the platforms until you reach rotating platforms that switch sides at a delayed rate.

You’ll need to wait a split second longer to safely reach the next side. There will also be PlayStation coins on the safe side of the rotating platforms, so be sure to collect those if you can. At the top, there will be exposed wires that will get you the PlayStation Multitap artifact.

Use the tightrope to get back to the main path after getting the PlayStation Multitap artifact. Move forward and defeat the enemies that are on the outskirts of the platform with the giant flying TV smashing the ground.

Use your hover lasers to get to the top of the TV. When it flies back in the air, the fourth puzzle piece of Electrocloud will be in the sky to claim.

After completing Electrocloud, a giant robot will lift Astro to the next area called Bumper Broadway, where you’ll once again jump inside a ball. Head down the first path, it’ll be easy with the bumpers doing most of the work.

You’ll land in a pinball-type area that’ll have knobs that you can bounce off of. As you roll around collecting PlayStation coins, the first puzzle piece will appear in the center.

Directly to the left of the first puzzle piece, you’ll see a silver hole that will take you up to a side rail. It might be a bit difficult at first with the knobs knocking you around, but try to roll Astro to the silver hole.

When you roll into the hole, Astro will shoot up to an overlooking railing. The railing will roll you down right into the second puzzle piece.

Once you receive the second puzzle piece, Astro will automatically land back in the pinball area. Push past the giant bowling pin to launch to the next platform.

The bumpers will push you along to a new icy path. Carefully roll down the icy steps and you’ll see the third puzzle piece in front of the last step.

After retrieving the third puzzle piece, the icy path will fork to the left; continue down the left path. It’ll be icy with no railings, so take it very slow and press the center pad to brake when needed.

Even if you fall off the edge, the last checkpoint should respawn Astro at the start of the icy path. Keep rolling up the path until you reach the DualShock Controller artifact.

Once you get the DualShock Controller artifact, you’ll drop down to the main path and the next checkpoint. Continue forward and there will be a center bumper that will launch you forward to the next area.

Instead of letting the launcher carry you in the middle of the path, you’ll notice a smaller path to the right. Angle yourself to land on the smaller path and the fourth puzzle piece will be waiting for the taking.

Continue making your way through Bumper Broadway by using the launchers. To the left of the center bumper will be a narrow path with smaller bumpers on the sides.

Carefully roll along the small path to a launcher that will take you to a railing. The railing will lead you down to the PocketStation artifact.

After securing the PocketStation artifact, you’re practically home-free. Keep making your way down the main path and the bumpers will practically take you all the way to the end of the level.

When you reach the end, Astro will burst from the ball. Proceed to the end of the path and yank the wire to receive the PlayStation artifact for completing Memory Meadow.
