Reports from the US and the UK have made it clear that Astro Bot has got off to an impressive start where sales are concerned, and more data is continuing to emerge to further reinforce that, even in the absence of official figures from Sony.
Shared by GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring on Twitter, data from the GSD reveals that over the course of its launch month of September, Astro Bot’s sales were 34 percent higher than what Sonic Frontiers managed in its own launch month, and 52 percent higher than Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.
In fact, according to Dring, Astro Bot has sold over 200,000 units in Europe alone as of the end of September, with its launch sales in the region being better than “basically every” 3D platformer released in the last decade outside of the Super Mario series.
Astro Bot is available on PS5, and is set to receive free DLC this Fall. Read our review of the game through here.
