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

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved a remarkable milestone, selling over a million copies, as announced by publisher Kepler Interactive. The debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive has seen phenomenal success, reaching 500,000 copies sold within just 24 hours of its launch, and now doubling that 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.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has also set a new concurrent player peak on Steam, reaching 121,422 players over the weekend, according to SteamDB. This number surpasses the concurrent peak of any other game from the renowned RPG developer Atlus, including Metaphor: ReFantazio, which launched in October 2024 and achieved a peak of 85,961 players.

It's important to note that concurrent player records do not reflect the total player base. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was released on multiple platforms including PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X and S, and was available on day one through the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. This suggests that the game's actual player count over the weekend was significantly higher, indicating its widespread popularity.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, we hailed it as a "modern RPG classic." Developed by the newly formed studio Sandfall Interactive, this turn-based RPG draws heavily from genre classics. It follows a crew of Expeditioners in a post-apocalyptic world where a giant being known as The Paintress etches a new number each year, erasing anyone older than it. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players join this crew on a journey to the ends of the continent with the goal of destroying the Paintress.
