Astro Bot Reaches Unbelievable Milestone

Author : Jonathan Feb 10,2025

Astro Bot: Reigning Supreme as the Most Awarded Platformer

With an impressive 104 Game of the Year awards, Astro Bot has officially become the most decorated platformer in history, surpassing the previous record holder, It Takes Two, by a significant 16 awards. While this is a monumental achievement, matching the accolades of gaming giants like Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, and The Last of Us Part 2 remains a distant prospect.

Initially released in September 2024, Astro Bot, a greatly expanded version of the popular Astro's Playroom tech demo, exceeded all expectations. It quickly garnered critical acclaim, becoming the highest-rated new game of 2024 and culminating in a triumphant Game of the Year win at The Game Awards 2024.

The sheer number of Game of the Year awards—a staggering 104—was recently highlighted by Twitter user NextGenPlayer, using data from gamefa.com's Game of the Year Award Tracker. This remarkable feat solidifies Astro Bot's place in gaming history.

While It Takes Two previously held the platformer record, Astro Bot's lead is substantial and could potentially grow further. However, the award counts of Baldur's Gate 3 (288), The Last of Us Part 2 (326), and the record-holding Elden Ring (435) remain significantly higher.

Despite this, Astro Bot's success is undeniable. By November 2024, it had surpassed 1.5 million copies sold—a remarkable feat considering its relatively small development team (under 70 developers) and three-year development cycle. Astro Bot has undeniably transformed from a niche title into a major PlayStation franchise.
