Astro Bot Sells Out in Japan

PlayStation’s newest release, Astro Bot, has become a massive hit in Japan, where it has sold out on Amazon Japan and various physical stores across Tokyo. The game, released on September 5th, 2024, quickly garnered widespread attention and was highly praised for its platforming experience. According to reports, the game’s physical copies have vanished from the shelves in less than 24 hours, signaling its enormous popularity.

Fast Selling Game Despite Limited Stock

The high demand for Astro Bot was shared by the Twitter user Genki_JPN, who noted that the game had sold out on Amazon Japan. In the absence of official sales numbers from Sony, this strong performance indicates an impressive start. While it’s unclear whether limited stock contributed to the sell-out, the early success in Japan is hard to ignore.

It is also reported that even in major Tokyo game stores, the disc copies were unavailable. Fans eagerly await Sony’s financial report, which will shed more light on the game’s full impact.

Astro Bot on PS5 is already dominating 2024, boasting the highest Metacritic score of the year with an impressive rating of 94. This milestone solidifies its place as a must-play title for PlayStation enthusiasts.

It remains to be seen if Astro Bot will achieve the same success globally, but with positive word-of-mouth and post-launch content, including free DLC levels, the future looks promising for Team Asobi‘s latest creation.
