“Astro Bot” Has Been A Hit In Europe

Team Asobi’s highly acclaimed PS5 exclusive “Astro Bot” appears to have been a sales success, at least in Europe.

GI.biz journalist Christopher Dring tracks sales performance in the region, including both physical and digital data, and says on X that the title has performed incredibly well.

Specifically he says: “Astro Bot has done better than basically every new 3D platform game in the last 10 years (Mario aside). Its true success won’t be known for years, but it’s had a strong start for the genre.”

A month after its release, “Astro Bot” sales are currently 34% higher than Sega’s recent flagship Sonic game “Sonic Frontiers” and 52% bigger than Activision’s “Crash Bandicoot 4”.

However Dring can’t share specific sales figures due to the terms of his agreement with European data distributors.

Sony has yet to release official sales figures for “Astro Bot”. The title sits at a 94/100 on Metacritic – the highest-scored new game of this year and a likely candidate for the Game of the Year award in December.

The title will get free speedrun DLC released later this year.
