Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Has Now Surpassed 4.4 Million Copies Sold

Expert Verified By

5 Million Sales Expected By The End Of This Year!

Story Highlight
  • One of the developers behind Clair Obscur has revealed that the game has unofficially sold over 4.4 million copies.
  • By the end of 2025, it is expected to have sold 5 million copies overall.
  • Following such a gigantic success, Clair Obscur has already been made a franchise with a sequel and a movie adaptation underway.

2025 has been a great year for indie and smaller studios, and one of the most talked-about games for this year has been Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Created by former Ubisoft employees, Clair Obscur has become a passion project that has truly found its way with fans.

That said, the game has been highly successful for Sandfall Interactive, painting a bright picture for the studio’s future. Now, one of the developers behind the project revealed that Clair Obscur has now sold over 4.4 million copies.

Why it matters: Video game sales have plummeted in recent times due to economic turmoil and inflation. Games like Clair Obscur still perform well due to their lower price point, lower budget, and a quality that rivals AAA releases.

French YouTuber Clips du Lundi recently interviewed a couple of developers from Sandfall Interactive. The host asked them the pressing question regarding the sales of Clair Obscur Expedition 33, to which they responded:

officially 3.3 but 4.4 million

Unironically, Clair Obscur Expedition 33 sold 3 million copies within 33 days of its release. While sales have slowed down since, with only 1.4 million copies sold in the next 109 days, expect them to pick up the pace later this year, particularly during holidays when it’s on sale.

Sandfall Interactive must be waiting for the game to hit a round figure in sales before updating the numbers. By the time 2025 ends, Clair Obscur will have potentially surpassed 5 million overall sales

Considering the game’s development budget was less than $50 million, which is significantly less than the budgets of many games released even 17 years ago. For just a fraction of the price, publisher Kelper Interactive is certainly pleased with the outcome.
