May 13,2025 Author: Benjamin

Developer Sandfall Interactive proudly announced that the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack has soared to the top of Billboard album charts just weeks after its release. This achievement underscores the immense popularity of the turn-based RPG, with its music being a standout feature that has captivated fans on social media and beyond.

Visit the Billboard website, and you'll see that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is currently dominating both the Classical Albums and Classical Crossover Albums charts. Sandfall also shared that the soundtrack has impressively ranked at 13 on the Official Soundtrack Album chart and 31 on the Official Album Download chart. This success indicates that players are not only drawn to the game's story and gameplay but also its enchanting, dreamlike soundtrack.

PlayThe Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack features over 150 tracks, many of which have garnered hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify. The standout track, "Lumière," has achieved nearly 1.9 million views on YouTube and over 1.9 million streams on Spotify, making it the most popular piece from the album.

The resonance of a video game soundtrack with music enthusiasts is a remarkable achievement, and it's even more impressive knowing that the composer, Lorien Testard, was discovered on SoundCloud, as Sandfall revealed in an interview with BBC.

Launched on April 24, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S (including Game Pass), Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has already surpassed the 2 million copies sold milestone in less than two weeks. This success story has earned Sandfall widespread acclaim, with even French President Emmanuel Macron offering his congratulations.
