Developer Asobi has confirmed you need to complete the story of Astro Bot before access to the speedrun levels become available.

If you’re not quite there yet, our verdict on how long it takes to beat and 100% Astro Bot can help you work out how much is left to go. Don’t worry about the secret exits for now if you’re in a rush — they can come later.

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.
