First PS5 Game on this Site to have over 100,000 Owners

[cosmic-lugger5 8]

It actually happened a week ago, but Astro's Playroom managed to cross the milestone of being the first PS5 game on this site to have over 100,000 owners. Also, this is the first game I got a platinum trophy in. Its popularity comes from the fact that it is pre-installed on every PS5.

I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually takes over the #1 spot on the # of gamers played.

A free game that comes on PS5 automatically. Not a surprise. 
 

it was a fun game though.

[Kcrack_Km 474]

Everyone that buys a ps5 should play it, not just because it's free, but because it's awesome and showcases the dualsense the best.

Good job! It's also my first platinum and my first game played on this platform. I instantly fell in love with the console, controller and Astro Bot, rather obsessed to be honest. I would definitely play the other Astro Bot games if I had PSVR.

 

Some people have their memories of playing GTA SA on PS2 and I have my memories of playing this game on PS5. I also played GTA SA of course but only on mobile so far. Even though Astro's Playroom is a short game, it's a very good demo for the controller and they lovely packed the history of the brand in this game.

 

My favorite trophy is Play Has No Limits!, because it has a PS5 in the icon.

Good job. I hope Sony has this game pre-installed on future PS5 revisions. Also, Team Asobi is working on its next big game, which will be a "3D action game".

True, but most of the Playroom owners did not actually PLAY the game because Camera was required and not everyone has it.

Same! Need a real long sequel

[DrBloodmoney 16,692]

It’s a fantastic game - it would certainly have a big player base anyway, given the nature of it as a tech demo and a free pre-install, but that doesn’t do justice to just how far beyond the call of duty Team Asobi went with it - turning it into simultaneously a great demo kiosk, a fun platform game, and a curated museum of Playstation history.

Most free pack in’s have a huge player base, but not as many end up with such a high completion rate - and that is only as a result of it being as good as it is👍

Doesn't surprise me at all. It may not be a particularly loved game, but it's a pack-in game. Once I get a PS5, I'm looking forward to playing it.

Thats why i think astro could/probably will beat it. Almost everyone with a ps5 will play this amazing game

[KondeBra 206]

10mi PS5 sold. 100k players on this site. 1% of PS5 players are here.

[snakebit10 9,654]

It don't surprise me one bit that it is the first, sure it comes pre installed on PS5, but people still have to play it and sync their trophies here for it to count.

 

I thought it was a great game and really showcased the Dualsense great. Before I knew of this I had planned to make Miles Morales my first PS5 platinum, but when this was announced and seen it had a platinum trophy I changed my mind.

[dakk55 1,612]

 

I half expected it to be one of the free PS5 upgrade games. But from what I've seen, the game was free, easy, and fun to play.

[Evers_cl 43]

Amazing game to test a ps5 and a dualsense. The playroom was great too but not as fun as astro

[alexandra-jane09 325]

I only got my PS5 on Thursday, one of very few PS5's in the UK now.  Its a great game, Astro reminds me of Wall-E's girlfriend, Eve.   It is a great homage to the Playstation and its history, love hearing the startups, especially the nostalgic PS1 one.  Interesting idea to showcase I guess a next generation version of Sixaxis, which I never used the controller that way I always have used the analogue sticks, I find it easier to control that way.  The 4D aspect of feeling rain on Astro and hearing stuff come out of the microphone, is quite funny and interesting.   An Easy Platinum, but those Speedruns are going to take a while, I am not a fan of doing those kinds of trophies.

[ShahinMiah 282]

This is a compulsory game that every PS5 user should play first once they've acquired a PS5 system. I played it the moment I setup my console which I dedicated my 700th Platinum milestone to as well

[DesmaBR 3,305]

I do not trust anyone with a PS5 that didn't play Astro

[MrTrofyHunter 1,336]

Good to see this but we all know why. Really enjoyed the game and hoping Team Asobi will expand the IP more. Love me some Astrobot.

THIS. 

 

This shows how tiny trophy hunter group is. People often forget on this site we aren't the majority

 

Astro is such a great game, everyone should play it, it's so rare for such tech demos to be that good. I really hope their next game is just more of the same

[DarrellGoodliffe 21]

I am not majorly into platformers but I really enjoyed this one not gonna lie so I am glad it is so widely played. 

[saiyanbloodstyle 451]

Technically it has 12m owners with about 12 million PS5's out there.

[pogo_loco 221]

I am genuinely impressed this game has such a high completion percentage, almost 100x the PSNP members who completed PS4's Playroom.  Maybe a disproportionate of us hunted down a launch-time PS5?  There's little chance to 100% this game without a walk-through, which normally isn't the fancy of casuals.  Or I'm just an f'n idiot.

 

EDIT: Missed a decimal on PS4 vs PS5....
