The deal is 17% off and will last until December.Astro Bot, the highest-rated PS5 game of 2024, has gone on sale for the very first time since its initial launch, currently down to $49.99. The discount for Astro Bot is available not only for the digital version on the PlayStation Store, but also for the physical version at retailers like PS Direct, Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart. This Black Friday discount gives PlayStation fans the chance to grab the game at a lower price while offering a variety of options to buy physically or digitally.
Astro Bot was first released on September 6 as a sequel to Astro's Playroom. It instantly became a fan favorite after it launched, scoring it enough rave reviews to become the highest-rated PS5 exclusive game of 2024, boasting a 95 OpenCritc rating. This manages to beat out Elden Ring's Shadow of the Edtree DLC (94), and other critically acclaimed releases like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (93) and Metaphor: ReFantazio (93). PlayStation 5 owners who haven't gotten the chance to try out Astro Bot yet can snag it at a reduced price.

Astro Bot was home to some excellent platformer level design, but its best stages still have a lot of untapped potential just waiting for a sequel.
The deal currently makes the game 17% off on all digital storefronts and the aforementioned retailers. This means Astro Bot currently costs roughly $50 as opposed to its usual $60 USD. While it's not the biggest discount PlayStation is offering for Black Friday, it is still the first time that the game has gone on sale since its September release. This discount for Astro Bot will last until December 5, 2024, for most retailers, while PlayStation Direct will be offering this reduced price for an entire month, ending on December 25, 2024.

Best Buy - 17% off until December 5 GameStop - 17% off until December 5 Walmart - 17% off until December 5 Target - 17% off until November 23 PlayStation Direct - 17% off until December 25It's likely this is the best price the game will have this year, considering the aforementioned PlayStation Black Friday deals, and while it could get slashed again closer to the holidays, it seems unlikely. As such, PS5 gamers who haven't gotten the game yet could consider this a good option if they're looking to play the game at a discount sooner rather than later.
Astro Bot has already crossed 1.5 million copies sold since its launch two months ago, and its positive reception even managed to get it a nomination for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024, among other titles like Black Myth: Wukong and Metaphor: ReFantazio. Astro Bot's momentum isn't slowing down either, as the game is getting various post-launch updates and new levels.
