Astro Bot's GOTY Trophy Run Nears 200 Wins

Astro Bot isn’t just winning hearts — it’s dominating trophy shelves. Team Asobi’s lovable platformer has now racked up a jaw-dropping 196 Game of the Year awards, putting it on the brink of a clean 200.

According to the folks over at ResetEra who’ve been keeping close tabs on the awards circuit, Astro Bot didn’t just win — it absolutely steamrolled the competition. From fan-favorite publications to high-profile award ceremonies, everyone seems to agree: this game’s the real deal.

A BAFTA Here, a DICE There — Astro’s Collection Keeps Growing

The latest notch in Astro Bot’s ever-growing belt came just last week with a big win at the BAFTA Game Awards. That followed a Game of the Year nod from returning magazine Game Informer, and before that? Just a casual string of victories at The Game Awards, DICE Awards, and the New York Game Awards. 

It’s not just sweeping big shows — major outlets like IGN, Eurogamer, The Gamer, Kotaku, VGC, God Is a Geek, and Kinda Funny all crowned it their top pick, too.

The Competition? It Wasn’t Even Close

It’s approachable, polished, and packed with personality. Whether you’re a veteran gamer or just picking up a controller, it’s the kind of title that pulls you in and doesn’t let go.
