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

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved a remarkable milestone by selling over a million copies, as announced by publisher Kepler Interactive. The debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive initially soared with 500,000 copies sold within the first 24 hours, and now, it 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.

The game's success doesn't stop there. According to SteamDB, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 reached 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 achieved a peak of 85,961 players.

It's important to note that concurrent records only represent a fraction of 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 engaging with the game over the weekend was likely much higher, indicating its current popularity.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, we praised it as a "modern RPG classic." Crafted by the newly established Sandfall Interactive, this turn-based RPG draws significant inspiration 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. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players join this crew on their journey to the continent's edge to confront and destroy The Paintress.
