"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Hits 1 Million Sales in 3 Days"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved remarkable success, surpassing one million copies sold, as announced by publisher Kepler Interactive. The debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive initially soared with 500,000 copies sold within just 24 hours of its release, and has now doubled that impressive figure.

"And here we are. Three days after launch. One million copies sold. Thank you for believing in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33," the studio said on social media over the weekend.

Not only has the game hit significant sales milestones, but it also achieved a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam, according to SteamDB. This peak surpasses that of any other game by the renowned RPG developer Atlus, including the popular Metaphor: ReFantazio, which launched in October 2024 and reached a peak of 85,961 players. It's worth noting that concurrent records only represent a portion of the player base, as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is also available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X and S, and was included in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription from day one. This suggests that the total number of players who engaged with the game over the weekend is likely much higher, indicating its widespread popularity.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the game was hailed as a "modern RPG classic." Developed by the newly established Sandfall Interactive, this turn-based RPG draws heavily from genre classics. It follows the journey of a crew of Expeditioners in a post-apocalyptic setting where a giant being known as The Paintress annually etches a new number, erasing anyone older than that age. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players join this crew on a mission to travel across the continent and ultimately destroy The Paintress.
