“At The Game Awards 2024, our first-party title Astro Bot won four categories, including Game of the Year and Best Family Game, the most of any title,” Totoki said. “In addition, the live service game Helldivers 2, released in February last year, won the Best Ongoing Game and Best Multiplayer Game awards.

Sony plans to expand family game offerings after Astro Bot's success at The Game Awards 2024. Astro Bot is a critical and commercial success, with over 1.5 million copies sold and high critic ratings. While a sequel isn't confirmed, Team Asobi continues to release free content updates for Astro Bot.

Although it may not have been the biggest sales success Sony’s ever had, Astro Bot’s prestige has pleased the company enough to pursue making similar games.
