Astro Bot Reaches Unbelievable Milestone

Astro Bot: The Most Awarded Platformer Ever

With an astounding 104 Game of the Year awards, Astro Bot has officially become the most awarded platformer in history, surpassing the previous record holder, It Takes Two, by a significant 16 awards. This remarkable achievement follows its Game of the Year win at The Game Awards 2024, solidifying its status as an exceptional title.

Initially launched in September 2024, Astro Bot, a greatly expanded version of the popular Astro's Playroom PS5 tech demo, exceeded all expectations. It quickly became the highest-rated new game of 2024, garnering critical acclaim and widespread popularity. The game's success is even more impressive considering its relatively modest development team (under 70 developers) and three-year development cycle.

The news of Astro Bot's record-breaking award count was revealed by Twitter user NextGenPlayer, citing data from gamefa.com's Game of the Year Award Tracker. While this achievement is undeniably impressive, it's important to note that Astro Bot's award total pales in comparison to other industry giants like Baldur's Gate 3 (288 wins), The Last of Us Part II (326 wins), and Elden Ring (435 wins), the current record holder for most awarded game overall.

Despite this, Astro Bot's commercial success is undeniable, surpassing 1.5 million copies sold by November 2024. This triumph has undoubtedly elevated Astro Bot's status within the PlayStation franchise, transforming it from a relatively unknown title into a major player. For Team Asobi and Sony, Astro Bot's success story is a testament to the power of creative vision and dedicated development.
