Sandfall Interactive’s Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold more than 4.4 million copies worldwide. The impressive sales figure emerged during a casual French livestream interview rather than through the usual fanfare of an official announcement.
Two Sandfall team members revealed the number while appearing on a charity fundraiser stream with Antoine Daniel. When asked about sales, they mentioned the 4.4 million milestone matter-of-factly. The clip later circulated through the “Clips du Lundi” channel.
The new figure represents at least 1.1 million additional sales since the studio’s last public milestone of 3.3 million copies. Previous announcements tracked the game’s steady climb through 500,000 and 1 million units sold.
What makes this achievement particularly notable is the game’s limited discounting strategy. Since its $50 launch price, Clair Obscur has seen only minimal sales—a single 10% discount on consoles and two modest promotions on Steam. The title also launched day-one on Xbox Game Pass, which typically reduces direct sales as players opt for the subscription option instead.
For context, the dark fantasy RPG blends turn-based combat with timing-based defensive mechanics. Players explore a world inspired by European art and architecture while racing to break an annual curse before the dreaded number 33 arrives. The game features voice acting from Andy Serkis and Charlie Cox, alongside a soundtrack that has earned widespread praise.
When your sales are so good you forget to brag
The casual nature of this announcement reflects the game’s consistent performance. While many RPGs see front-loaded sales that quickly taper off, Clair Obscur has maintained steady momentum months after launch. The studio has focused on quality-of-life updates and optional difficulty modifiers rather than major DLC announcements.
Without platform breakdowns or regional data, the raw 4.4 million figure stands as testament to the game’s broad appeal. For a new IP from a relatively small French studio, these numbers place Clair Obscur among the year’s breakout success stories.
