"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 with 500,000 copies sold within the first 24 hours, and now, it has impressively 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 reached significant sales figures, but Clair Obscur also hit a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam over the weekend, according to SteamDB. 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 worth noting that these concurrent records do not reflect the full scope of the player base. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was launched on multiple platforms including 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 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, the game was praised as a "modern RPG classic." Developed by the newly established Sandfall Interactive, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG that draws significant inspiration from genre classics. It follows a group of Expeditioners in a post-apocalyptic setting where a giant entity known as The Paintress annually etches a new number, erasing anyone older than it. The game's narrative centers on joining this crew on their journey to the continent's edge to confront and destroy The Paintress.
