Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Hits 2 Million Sales in 12 Days

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved a remarkable 2 million copies sold just 12 days after its release, doubling its sales from 1 million in the first three days.

Notably, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launched as a day-one Game Pass title alongside Bethesda’s Oblivion Remastered. This milestone is particularly striking for French developer Sandfall Interactive and publisher Kepler Interactive.

“We’re thrilled to see so many players embark on this journey,” stated a social media post. “We feel every moment, every emotion, and every discovery with you.

“To new players: welcome.

“The adventure continues.”

When Bethesda surprise-launched The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered alongside the role-playing game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, many expected one to overshadow the other. Yet, both titles thrived, proving there’s ample room for success.

According to Kepler Interactive, Oblivion’s release didn’t hinder Clair Obscur; instead, it amplified excitement for RPGs, benefiting both games.

Matt Handrahan, Kepler Interactive’s senior portfolio manager, told The Game Business last week: “We always believed Expedition 33 had a unique identity. Western and Japanese RPGs appeal to distinct audiences. I knew players of Elder Scrolls might not gravitate toward Final Fantasy, and vice versa.

“By launch, we had built strong momentum and felt confident standing alongside Oblivion. Factors like our price point and Game Pass inclusion fueled interest. The outcome exceeded our expectations, and Oblivion’s presence only heightened attention to quality RPGs that week.”

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s success has even earned praise from French President Macron for the development team. Be sure to explore our tips for key insights before diving into the game.
