Astro Bot: The Most Awarded Platformer Ever
With an astounding 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. This achievement, following its Game of the Year win at The Game Awards 2024, solidifies Astro Bot's position as a truly exceptional title.
Initially launched in September 2024, Astro Bot, an expanded version of the popular Astro's Playroom tech demo, quickly exceeded expectations. It became the highest-rated new game release of 2024, garnering critical acclaim and widespread popularity. The game's success was further amplified by its numerous Game of the Year awards, a feat highlighted by NextGenPlayer on Twitter, referencing data from gamefa.com's Game of the Year Award Tracker.
While Astro Bot's impressive win count is remarkable, it still trails behind industry giants like Baldur's Gate 3 (288 awards), Elden Ring (435 awards), and The Last of Us Part II (326 awards). Nevertheless, Astro Bot's commercial success is undeniable, having surpassed 1.5 million copies sold by November 2024 – a testament to the small team's (under 70 developers) dedication and creative vision over a three-year development period. Astro Bot's journey from a relatively unknown title to a major PlayStation franchise is a remarkable story of success.
