"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Hits 1 Million Sales in 3 Days"
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved remarkable success, selling over a million copies, as announced by publisher Kepler Interactive.

"And here we are. Three days after launch. One million copies sold. Thank you for believing in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33," the studio expressed 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 other game from the renowned RPG developer Atlus, including Metaphor: ReFantazio, which, upon its release in October 2024, achieved a peak of 85,961 players.It's important to note that concurrent records only reflect a portion of the 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 total number of players engaging with the game over the weekend was likely much higher, indicating its widespread popularity.
In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, it was hailed as a "modern RPG classic." Developed by the newly formed studio Sandfall Interactive, this turn-based RPG draws heavily from genre classics. It follows a group of Expeditioners navigating a post-apocalyptic world where a giant entity known as The Paintress annually etches a new number, erasing anyone older than it. The game's narrative centers on the crew's journey to the continent's edge to confront and destroy The Paintress.
