Hit RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Tops 1 Million Sales in Just 3 Days

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved a remarkable feat, surpassing one million copies sold, as announced by its publisher, Kepler Interactive. The debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive initially impressed with 500,000 copies sold within the first 24 hours of its release, 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.

The game's success extends beyond sales numbers. According to SteamDB, Clair Obscur hit 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 Metaphor: ReFantazio, which, upon its release in October 2024, reached a peak of 85,961 players.

It's important to note that concurrent player counts do not reflect 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 engaging with the game over the weekend was likely much higher, underscoring the game's current popularity.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, it was hailed as a "modern RPG classic." Developed by the newly formed studio Sandfall Interactive, this turn-based RPG draws significant inspiration from genre classics. The game follows a crew of Expeditioners in a post-apocalyptic world where a giant being known as The Paintress annually etches a new number, erasing anyone older than that number. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players join the crew on a mission to the ends of the continent to destroy the Paintress.
