Astro Bot won 2024 with 183 of 507 tracked Game of the Year awards — 36.1%, and the top spot in 27 of 45 countries. But a global majority is not a global consensus: 18 countries handed their most awards to something else, and 11 different games won at least one country outright. In Poland, UAE, Argentina and Norway, Astro Bot did not receive a single award.
