Astro Bot's Impressive Debut on PS5

Astro Bot's Rising Popularity on PS5

PS5 players have flocked to those Astro Bot trophies and for good reason — it's easily one of the best PS5 games around! With our exclusive data, we've also been able to check Astro Bot's PS5 player count at launch, which was strong enough to make Team Asobi's title the sixth-biggest PS5 single-player release of 2024 so far!

Astro Bot's Launch and Player Count

In terms of premium single-player PS5 releases, the game's debut ranks just below Dragon's Dogma II. In its first three days of sale, Astro Bot saw more PS5 players than Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin. Using a gameplay data sample from over 3.1 million active PSN accounts (courtesy of our partnership with GameInsights), we've tracked the debut player count of every PS5 game released this year.

Comparative Success

This includes the recent release of Astro Bot, which launched on PS5 and PC on Friday, September 6, 2024. Looking at our PlayStation Chart of the top 40 most-popular PS5 and PS4 games, we already knew Astro Bot was off to a good start. The platformer managed to land in at 8th place even with only three days of PS5 player data available.

However, it's worth taking a look at how that stacks up against some of the other big single-player games released on PS5 this year.
