The vast majority of players who have played Astro Bot believe that we are facing one of the best video games of the year. The PlayStation exclusive has captivated the community, so much so that it has become the highest-rated video game of 2024 on Metacritic. However, the official sales figures are not known yet, but there are indications that suggest that many people have played it, at least in Europe.
The popular GamesIndustry.biz journalist, Christopher Dring, has highlighted through his X/Twitter account that the commercial reception of Astro Bot is very strong, at least in terms of sales in Europe. Specifically, he notes that “Astro Bot has had better results than almost all new 3D platformer games in the last 10 years (except Mario)”, as reported by VGC.
However, this is just the beginning as “its true success will not be known for several years, but it has had a solid start for the genre”. In fact, a month after its release, the sales of Astro Bot have been 34% higher than those of Sonic Frontiers and 52% higher than those of Crash Bandicoot 4. On the other hand, in the American market it also had a “solid” launch, according to the company Circana, which reports sales in the United States.
What’s Coming to Astro Bot Soon
Astro Bot is not a game to be used and discarded because very soon the platform game will be updated with the mission to rescue the new VIP guests from Stellar Blade and Helldivers 2. In addition to these 10 new bots, the most demanding players will be able to enjoy several ‘speedrun’ levels to offer a more challenging experience that will encourage you to surpass yourself. All of this will arrive for free at some point in this autumn, so we shouldn’t have to wait much longer.
