Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved remarkable success, selling over a million copies as announced by its publisher, Kepler Interactive. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive initially soared by reaching a sales milestone of 500,000 copies within just 24 hours of its launch, and it has now doubled that impressive figure.

"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.

PlayThe game's success extends beyond sales. According to SteamDB, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 achieved a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam over the weekend, surpassing the concurrent peaks of other notable RPGs from Atlus, including Metaphor: ReFantazio, which reached a peak of 85,961 players upon its release in October 2024.

It's important to note that concurrent player records do not represent the full player base. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was released 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 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 formed studio Sandfall Interactive, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG inspired by genre classics. It follows a crew of Expeditioners navigating a post-apocalyptic world where a giant being 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 destroy The Paintress.
