The game beat out several other favorites, including the winner of Voices’ Black Myth: Wukong, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Balatro, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
Astro Bot also took home several other awards on the night, including Game Direction, Family Game, and Action/Adventure Game. Several GOTY contenders also took home the award – Astro Bot wasn’t quite the clean sweep that Baldur’s Gate 3 was last year.
