"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Hits 1 Million Sales in 3 Days"
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has soared to impressive heights, selling over a million copies, as announced by publisher Kepler Interactive. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive not only achieved a remarkable milestone of 500,000 copies sold within its 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.
The game's success extends beyond sales. 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 RPG from the renowned 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 records do not reflect the full player base. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X and S, and was a day-one launch on the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. This suggests that the total number of players who engaged with the game over the weekend is likely much higher, indicating the game's current 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 significant inspiration from genre classics. It follows a crew of Expeditioners in a post-apocalyptic world where a giant being called The Paintress annually etches a new number, erasing anyone older than it. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players join this crew on a mission to travel to the continent's edge and destroy the Paintress.
