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

by Finn May 15,2025

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved a remarkable milestone by selling over a million copies, as announced by publisher Kepler Interactive. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive had already demonstrated strong initial sales by reaching 500,000 copies sold within just 24 hours of its release. Now, the game has impressively doubled 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.

PlayThe game's success extends beyond sales figures. According to SteamDB, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 achieved a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam over the weekend. This number surpasses the concurrent peak of any other game from 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 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 actual number of players who engaged with the game over the weekend is likely much higher, indicating the game's 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 studio Sandfall Interactive, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG that draws significant inspiration from genre classics. The game follows a group of Expeditioners in a post-apocalyptic world where a giant being known as The Paintress annually etches a new number, erasing anyone older than it. Players join the crew on a mission to travel across the continent and ultimately destroy the Paintress.
