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

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved a remarkable milestone, selling over a million copies, as announced by publisher Kepler Interactive. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive has seen tremendous success, initially reaching 500,000 copies sold within just 24 hours of its launch, and now doubling 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 via social media over the weekend.

It's important to note that concurrent player records don't capture the full scope of the game's 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 actual number of players engaging with the game over the weekend was likely much higher, indicating its widespread popularity.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the game was hailed as a "modern RPG classic." Crafted by the newly established studio Sandfall Interactive, this turn-based RPG 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 to journey to the continent's edge in a bid to destroy The Paintress.
