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

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved remarkable success, selling over a million copies shortly after its release, as announced by publisher Kepler Interactive. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive initially soared to 500,000 copies sold within just 24 hours of its launch, and has now impressively 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 expressed on social media over the weekend.

It's important to note that these concurrent records only reflect Steam activity. Given that 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, the total number of players who engaged with the game over the weekend is likely much higher, indicating its widespread appeal.

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, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG drawing inspiration from genre classics. It follows a group of Expeditioners in a post-apocalyptic setting where a giant entity known as The Paintress annually inscribes a new number, erasing anyone older than it. The game's narrative centers on joining the crew on a mission to traverse the continent and ultimately destroy The Paintress.
