This year has given us a lot of potential Game of the Year candidates already, and we are not even halfway through it. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from Sandfall Interactive has been leading the conversation over the last couple of weeks.
In just twelve days, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold over 2 million copies worldwide across all platforms. The announcement was shared on X (Twitter) this morning from the official Expedition 33 account:
In just its first day, Expedition 33 sold 500K copies, and after just three days, it sold 1 million copies.
There have been reports that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 leads in JRPGs sales against other juggernauts on Steam currently. The game has been so popular that it’s being developed into a live-action film with Story Kitchen behind the production for the new adaptation.
Sandfall Interactive hasn’t specified the total number of players who stepped foot into its latest creation. The game is available on Xbox and PC Game Pass, which has likely boosted the game’s numbers. However, the developer is only sharing the total amount of sales.
Other games Expedition 33 is competing with for Game of the Year so far are Split Fiction and Assassin’s Creed Shadows. We still have half the year to go for other games to join the conversation, but so far this would technically be your top 3 based on feedback and reviews.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is available on PC via Steam, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5.
