"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Surpasses 1 Million Sales in 3 Days"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive and published by Kepler Interactive, has achieved a remarkable milestone by selling over a million copies. This success was announced just three days post-launch, following an impressive start where it sold 500,000 copies within the first 24 hours.

"And here we are. Three days after launch. One million copies sold. Thank you for believing in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33," Sandfall Interactive expressed on social media over the weekend.

Alongside this sales achievement, SteamDB reports that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 reached a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam over the weekend. This figure surpasses the concurrent peak of any RPG from the renowned developer Atlus, including Metaphor: ReFantazio, which, upon its release in October 2024, saw a peak of 85,961 players.

It's important to note that while concurrent player numbers provide insight into a game's popularity, they do not reflect the total player base. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is available on multiple platforms including PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X and S, and was also a day-one addition to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. This broader availability suggests that the game's actual player count over the weekend was likely much higher, indicating its widespread appeal.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, it was hailed as a "modern RPG classic." Crafted by the newly established Sandfall Interactive, this turn-based RPG draws heavily from genre classics. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a colossal entity known as The Paintress annually etches a number, erasing anyone older than it. Players join a group of Expeditioners on a mission to traverse the continent and eliminate The Paintress.
