"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 RPG Hits 1M Sales in 3 Days"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has soared past the million-copy sales mark, a remarkable achievement announced by publisher Kepler Interactive. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive initially impressed by selling 500,000 copies within just 24 hours of its release, and now, it has 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; according to SteamDB, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 reached a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam over the weekend. This impressive figure surpasses the concurrent peak of any other game from the renowned RPG developer Atlus, including the highly regarded Metaphor: ReFantazio, which launched in October 2024 and achieved a peak of 85,961 players.

It's important to note that concurrent records do not reflect the full 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, indicating the game's current popularity.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, it was hailed as a "modern RPG classic." Crafted by the newly formed studio Sandfall Interactive, this turn-based RPG draws significant inspiration from genre classics. The game follows a group 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 age. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players join the crew on a mission to travel across the continent and ultimately destroy the Paintress.
