– 2 min read
Sandfall Interactive and Kepler Interactive have announced that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold over five million copies since its release in April 2025. A new game update is coming soon as a "thank you" to the game's community.
The French independent video game developer Sandfall Interactive and the video game publisher and creative studio Kepler Interactive have announced that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold over five million copies since its release in April 2025 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via GOG, Steam and Epic Games Store. The number of players is higher, however, because Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is also included in Game Pass.
"The response to our game has been nothing short of incredible," says Guillaume Broche, Creative Director of Expedition 33 at Sandfall Interactive. "We spent years working on our dream project, and to know it has resonated with fans around the world in such a powerful way is both wonderful and overwhelming. We're so grateful to our fans for their love of the world we created, for sharing their own fan art and music covers, for wearing their best Baguette cosplays to conventions, and for being incredibly supportive of our game. We hope the update we're working on will act as a 'thank you' to those fans for their support - please be patient while our team work hard on bringing you something worth the wait."
Additionally, the game's soundtrack, composed by Lorien Testard, has amassed over 333 million streams across digital music platforms since its release. It spent over 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Classical & Classical Crossover Album charts, and reached No. 1 on the iTunes Top 100 Albums Chart in nine countries, including France - home to the Montpellier-based game studio.
To celebrate these milestones, Sandfall Interactive and Kepler Interactive have revealed that a new free update for the RPG is currently in development. This major update will feature a new playable environment, complete with new enemy encounters and discoveries. Late-game players can look forward to new boss battles, while each member of the expedition will be able to dress up in new costume. Last but not least: The update will also feature new text and UI localisations in Czech, Ukrainian, Latin American Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian, bringing the total number of supported languages to 19.
