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. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive initially soared to success by reaching a sales figure of 500,000 copies within just 24 hours of its launch, and it has now doubled that number.

"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.

Not only has it excelled in sales, but SteamDB reports that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 reached a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam over the weekend. This impressive figure surpasses the concurrent peak of any other game by 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 these concurrent records reflect only a segment of the total 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 addition to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Consequently, the total number of players who engaged with the game over the weekend is likely much higher, indicating its current widespread popularity.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, we praised 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 significant inspiration from genre classics. The game follows a group of Expeditioners in a post-apocalyptic setting where a giant entity known as The Paintress annually etches a number, erasing anyone older than that number. The narrative centers on joining this crew as they embark on a journey to the continent's edge to confront and destroy The Paintress.
