Author : Benjamin Update : May 13,2025

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved remarkable success, selling over a million copies, as announced by publisher Kepler Interactive. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive not only sold 500,000 copies within the first 24 hours but has now 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 popularity extends beyond sales figures. According to SteamDB, Clair Obscur reached a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam over the weekend. This number significantly surpasses the concurrent peak of any other game by the renowned RPG developer Atlus, including the acclaimed Metaphor: ReFantazio, which launched in October 2024 with a peak of 85,961 players.

It's important to note that these concurrent records do not reflect the full player base. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is available on multiple platforms, including PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X and S, and was a day-one release on 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 appeal.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, we hailed it as a "modern RPG classic." Developed by the newly established studio Sandfall Interactive, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG that draws heavily from genre classics. The game follows a crew of Expeditioners in a post-apocalyptic world where a giant entity 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.
