Astro Bot Reaches Unbelievable Milestone

Astro Bot: A Platforming Champion Crowned

Astro Bot has achieved an unprecedented feat, securing the title of the most awarded platformer ever, boasting an impressive 104 Game of the Year awards. This surpasses the previous record holder, It Takes Two, by a significant 16 awards.

Initially launched in September 2024, Astro Bot, an expansion of the popular Astro's Playroom tech demo, quickly exceeded expectations. It garnered widespread critical acclaim, becoming the highest-rated new game of 2024. The game's success culminated in a triumphant win at The Game Awards 2024, securing the coveted Game of the Year award.

However, the 104 Game of the Year wins, as tracked by gamefa.com, represent a milestone far beyond the initial Game Awards victory. This remarkable achievement was highlighted by Twitter user NextGenPlayer.

While Astro Bot's triumph is undeniable, its award count pales in comparison to industry giants like Baldur's Gate 3 (288 awards), Elden Ring (435 awards), and The Last of Us Part 2 (326 awards).

Despite this, Astro Bot's commercial success is equally noteworthy. By November 2024, it had surpassed 1.5 million copies sold – a remarkable achievement for a game developed by a team of fewer than 70 developers over three years, likely with a moderate budget. This success firmly establishes Astro Bot as a major PlayStation franchise.
