When acquiring the data, over 43,000 users' purchase intentions were taken into account. This factored in wishlist changes from May 30, the most recentPlayStation State of Play broadcast, all the way to June 12, which would be less than two days removed fromUbisoftForward, the final showcase of the springtime festival.

So Astro Bot has taken the crown as the most-wishlisted for game over the last two weeks, and it’s followed by Doom: The Dark Ages, which opened theXbox Games Showcase, in second position. Third is Gears of War: E-Day, the hotly anticipated Gears series prequel, which similarly had a big showing at the Xbox presentation, and fourth is Perfect Dark, another Xbox-developed game.

After that comesAssassin’s Creed Shadowsin fifth position, which is drawing a ton of attention over the last few weeks, and the French-made JRPG-styled Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 clocks in at the sixth position. South of Midnight, the new action game from ex-Arkanedevelopers, is seventh on the list, while Fable 4 is at eight,Call of Duty: Black Ops 6is at nine, and rounding out the list at 10 is the long-awaited Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Astro Bot is admittedly a bit of a surprise, in beating out both Doom and Gears of War, two heavily established franchises. It’s always worth remembering that Astro’s Playroom was bundled in free with every PS5 console out there, and veteran players out there utterly adored the game’s use of cameo appearances from gaming franchises over the last few decades. In other words, it’s a big win for PlayStation.
