Astro Bot Reaches Unbelievable Milestone

Astro Bot: The Most Awarded Platformer Ever

Team Asobi's Astro Bot has achieved a remarkable feat, surpassing It Takes Two to become the most awarded platformer in history, boasting an impressive 104 Game of the Year awards. This achievement, revealed via gamefa.com's Game of the Year Award Tracker, significantly outpaces the previous record holder by 16 awards.

Initially released in September 2024, Astro Bot quickly exceeded expectations. Building upon the popular Astro's Playroom tech demo, it delivered a compelling experience featuring expanded gameplay and numerous PlayStation cameos. The game's critical acclaim cemented its status as the highest-rated new release of 2024, culminating in a Game of the Year win at The Game Awards 2024.

While this award was a significant accomplishment, the subsequent discovery of Astro Bot's 104 Game of the Year wins elevates its status to an unprecedented level within the platforming genre.

Despite this impressive win count, Astro Bot's total still lags behind other major award winners such as Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, and The Last of Us Part II, which hold significantly higher numbers of Game of the Year awards. However, Astro Bot's commercial success, exceeding 1.5 million copies sold by November 2024, is undeniable, particularly given its relatively small development team and budget.

This extraordinary achievement firmly establishes Astro Bot as a major player in the PlayStation franchise and a testament to Team Asobi's creative vision.
