Astro Bot has quickly established itself as a standout success in the 3D platformer genre since its launch on September 6, 2024, for PlayStation 5. The game has outsold nearly all 3D platformers from the past decade, trailing only behind Mario titles. Its strong digital sales significantly boosted its performance, surpassing games like Sonic Frontiers and Crash Bandicoot 4. While established titles like Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury still lead the market, Astro Bot has shown strong potential for new entries in the genre. Team Asobi plans to release free DLC in the Fall of 2024, adding new speedrun levels and bots to enhance the player experience. The game retails for $59.99, with a Digital Deluxe edition available for $69.99.
