Summary
- Astro Bot has been nothing short of a success for PlayStation since its initial launch in September.
- Just how successful? Well, how does 1.5 million units sold as of November 3, 2024, sound?
- Of that 1.5 million, 37 percent are people who hadn't purchased a piece of PlayStation first-party software in the last two years.
For fans of classic platforming games, has been nothing short of a revelation. 168澳洲幸💧运5开奖网:Combining the do-or-die tight leveling of older 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Mario Bros. games with a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation-centric twist led the game to critical acclaim and positive audience f🏅eedback.
But now, , we know that the game has also been a smash hit for consumers. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Team Asobi's first full-length Astro-centric adventure has platformed its way to 1.﷽5 million units sold as of Novembe꧙r 3, 2024, nearly three months since its initial launch.

That 1.5 million unit figure has Astro Bot outpacing the likes of Returnal and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ratchet and Clank, both well-received titles. ꦏHowever, there is another metric that should excite fans when it comes to Astro Bot's future prospects.
Astro Is For Everyone
Of 🅰the 1.5 million units sold, 37%, or nearly 600,000 units were sold to new users. Sony has defined a new user as someone who hasn't purchased a piece of first-party software in the last two years other than Astro Bot.
In other words, a significant portion of the game's audience were people who weren't enticed by other PlayStation first-party titles, but came around to purchase Astro Bot. For reference, over the last two years alone, PlayStation has released 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a pair of remasters for its 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us series, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:God of War Ragnarök, among other first-party offerings.
, Astro Bot has had a considerable effect on its youth segment. In that samꦇe report, the company noted the following:
The percentage of younger age groups and families purchasing the title was much higher than other titles, 🅷and the title is contributing signifi♋cantly to a widening of the user base through the acquisition of new users and the expansion of our title portfolio.
Astro Bot has continued to receive post-launch DLC su🐈pport in the form of new bots and time trial missions, though based off these numbers, its future prospects look extremel🐈y bright. Surely it won't be long before we get another Astro Bot experience, or something adjacent, especially as Sony tries to maintain its🍒 newfound success among young gamers.
