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

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved a remarkable milestone, selling over a million copies, as announced by its publisher, Kepler Interactive. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive not only started strong by reaching 500,000 sales within the first 24 hours but has now doubled that figure in just three days.

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

The game's success isn't limited to sales. According to SteamDB, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 achieved a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam over the weekend. This impressive figure surpasses the concurrent peak of any other game from the renowned RPG developer Atlus, including Metaphor: ReFantazio, which, upon its release in October 2024, reached a peak of 85,961 players.

It's important to note that these concurrent records reflect only a portion of the total player base. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was also released on 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 engaging with the game over the weekend could be significantly higher, highlighting its widespread popularity.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the game was hailed as a "modern RPG classic." Crafted by the newly established studio 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 entity known as The Paintress annually etches a new number, erasing anyone older than it. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players join this crew on a quest to travel across the continent and confront the Paintress.
