Sony has experienced a rocky few months, with the launch of Concord ending abruptly due to low player engagement just two weeks after its release. Additionally, the announcement of the PS5 Pro was met with mixed reactions, particularly over its controversial price point. Amid this uncertainty, Astro Bot has emerged as a major success, receiving universal acclaim for its 3D platforming and innovative use of PS5 hardware, especially the DualSense controller. Astro Bot combines elements of iconic platformers like Super Mario 64 with modern mechanics, positioning it for a bright future.
