PS5's Astro Bot Now the Most Decorated Platformer Ever with Over 100 GOTY Awards | Push Square
Astro Bot, the PS5 exclusive 3D platformer, is now the most-awarded game in its genre on record, accumulating 104 Game of the Year nods so far.
That's according to this site, which tracks all Game of the Year awards attributed by eligible media outlets. The count isn't complete, but even if the figure stays at 104, it comfortably beats the previous record holder, It Takes Two, which earned itself 88.
While it isn't the game with the most GOTY awards ever, Astro Bot does take the title for platformers — at least according to this site, which only has records dating back to 2013. However, as pointed out by TheGamer, the number of awards being dished out in the last decade is much greater than it used to be, so it's very likely Astro takes the record even without all historic data.
We awarded Astro Bot our top honour for 2024, and our readers agreed, voting it their favourite game of last year as well.
Its success in awards season shouldn't be too much of a surprise, given the glowing reception it received from both critics and fans.
That's a wrap

Well deserved. A true joy of a game from start to finish. Hopefully more Astro to come
I‘m curious about how many GOTY awards Super Mario Galaxy won in 2007.
Does anyone know how many GOTY awards are there today and in 2007? My gut tells me that we‘ve seen an inflation over the years.
Great game in 2024.
Hoping for some campaign DLC at some point this
