Top 10 Single-Player PS5 Games of 2024
According to data from TrueTrophies
It is also worth mentioning that TrueTrophies chose to include some questionable titles in its top 10 single-player PS5 games of 2024. For example, it noted thatThe Last of Us Part 2 Remasteredwas available for only $10to those who already owned a copy on PS4, helping it top the chart. In addition, theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC for 2022’sElden Ringwas counted on the list. Furthermore, TrueTrophies noted that data could not distinguish the difference between the base game and its 2024 expansion, making an accurate reading forShadow of the Erdtreechallenging. With these factors in mind,Astro Bot’s launch data could be considered even more impressive, ranking fourth on the list if theElden RingDLC andThe Last of Us Part 2 Remasteredwere removed.
WhileAstro Bothas struggled to gain popularity in Japanbased on reports, it appears the game has sold much better in some other markets, as evidenced by this latest trophy data. Hopefully, the game continues to sell well for those who want moreAstro Botgames in the future. Regardless, additional content is expected to be added to the existing game in the coming months.
