Just a few days after its launch, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has already hit a major sales milestone.
This RPG, released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, has sold over 500,000 copies, generating nearly $25 million in revenue for its developer.
Sandfall Interactive’s Breakout Success
Sandfall Interactive, founded in 2020, has achieved incredible success with its first major project, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
With its stunning graphics and unique storytelling, the game has captured the attention of both gamers and critics alike. It has even earned the highest score among all 2025 releases on Metacritic so far, putting it ahead of some of the year’s biggest titles.
Record-Breaking Numbers on Steam
In addition to impressive sales, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 also broke a major record on Steam. At peak, over 70,000 players were playing the game simultaneously — an impressive figure for a brand-new release.
The game’s availability on Game Pass has also helped bring in even more players, allowing many to experience it without having to purchase it directly.
Oblivion Remake Launch: No Impact on Success
There were some concerns that the surprise release of the Oblivion Remake on April 22 might hurt Expedition 33’s success. However, the strong sales numbers and positive feedback have proven otherwise.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has not only survived the competition — it has thrived.
A Strong Contender for Game of the Year
Beyond its commercial success, Expedition 33 has also been praised by players and critics for its story, visuals, and gameplay design.
Given its current momentum, it’s very likely that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will earn a spot among the nominees for Game of the Year.
If you haven’t played it yet, now is the perfect time to jump in and experience one of 2025’s most talked-about games.
