Astro Bot's early PS5 sales in the UK indicate it hasn't been a huge performer for Sony at launch, but it has already beaten Concord.
Astro Bot isn’t doing as well as you’d hope Sony’s big PS5 exclusive hasn’t had a huge launch, but it’s still easily managed to beat Concord’s global sales in two days, just in the UK. Astro Bot might be the best PlayStation game in years, but it has seemingly had a significantly smaller launch compared to other Sony exclusives, such as God Of War or Spider-Man 2.
According to Gfk data, it toppled Star Wars Outlaws to take the number one spot, and beat the likes of Hogwarts Legacy, Elden Ring, Armored Core 6, and EA Sports FC 24. It’s difficult to gauge how much Astro Bot needs to sell in order to be considered a success by Sony, but considering it was made by a much smaller team and presumably at a lower budget compared to the likes of Spider-Man 2 or God Of War, a modest success might be enough to secure a sequel.
