Now, the game has doubled its initial sales figure, reaching this new milestone in just three days.

"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.

Alongside its sales success, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 also set a new concurrent player peak on Steam, reaching 121,422 players over the weekend, according to SteamDB.

It's important to note that concurrent player counts do not reflect the total player base. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was released on multiple platforms including 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 widespread popularity.

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 that draws deep inspiration from genre classics.
