PlayStation platformer Astro Bot dominates 2025 BAFTA Games AwardsPlayStation platformer Astro Bot dominates 2025 BAFTA Games Awards

Astro Bot cleaned up at the 2025 BAFTA Games Awards after winning five awards.

Sony and Team Asobi's acclaimed 3D platformer was named Best Game during last night's ceremony in London. It also took home the awards for Animation, Audio Achievement, Family, and Game Design.

The title has dominated throughout awards season, securing notable victories at the New York Game Awards, The Game Awards, DICE Awards, and GDCAs.

Its latest win comes just a few weeks after Team Asobi studio director Nicolas Doucet espoused the virtues of making a "small game" at GDC 2025.

"A lot of the choices we made with Astro Bot could be labelled double-A or maybe lacking in ambition—like the size of the team, the size of the game, the fact there's no text, no voice, and its not an open world," he said during a talk at the conference in March.

"But that doesn't really matter. We still made a game that made people really happy, and in fact it was probably the simplicity that a lot of players made time for."

Other winners at the BAFTAs included comedy slapformer Thank Goodness You're Here!, which took home the British Game award.

Localthunk's immensely popular deck-building roguelike Balatro won out in the Debut Game category, while Arrowhead Game Studios frantic cooperative shooter Helldivers 2 nabbed the Multiplayer and Music awards.
