"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 its publisher, Kepler Interactive. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive initially soared to success by selling 500,000 copies within just 24 hours of its release, 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 expressed on social media over the weekend.

But that's not the only record this game has broken. According to SteamDB, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 reached a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam over the weekend. This number significantly 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 concurrent peak of 85,961 players.

It's important to note that concurrent player counts only represent a fraction of the total 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 actual number of players who engaged with the game over the weekend is likely much higher, indicating the game's widespread popularity.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the game was hailed 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 world where a giant entity known as The Paintress annually etches a new number, erasing anyone older than it. The narrative centers on joining the crew on their mission to travel across the continent and ultimately destroy The Paintress.
