"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 RPG Hits 1 Million Sales in 3 Days"
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has soared past a million copies sold, as announced by publisher Kepler Interactive. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive initially impressed with 500,000 copies sold within its first 24 hours, and it has now 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 said on social media over the weekend.
The game's success extends beyond sales, with SteamDB reporting a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam over the weekend. This number surpasses the peak player counts of other RPGs from renowned developer Atlus, including Metaphor: ReFantazio, which launched in October 2024 and achieved a peak of 85,961 players.It's important to note that concurrent player numbers do not reflect the total player base. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is also available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X and S, and was a day-one release on the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. This suggests that the actual number of players engaging with the game over the weekend is likely much higher, indicating its widespread popularity.
In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, we praised it as a "modern RPG classic." Crafted by the newly established Sandfall Interactive, this turn-based RPG draws heavily 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 number, erasing anyone older than it. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players join the crew on a mission to traverse the continent and destroy The Paintress.
