It was one of the main successes of the video game industry in 2025. The game developed by Sandfall Interactive has convinced both the public and critics, achieving unexpected results. A year after its release, various initiatives dedicated to the title have been announced, and an official assessment of the results obtained has been made. It is worth noting that the game was also the most awarded GOTY of all time.

An Incredible Success

As communicated by the production company, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold over 8 million copies worldwide and has also become the most downloaded new third-party title on Xbox Game Pass during 2025, as confirmed by Microsoft, which provided the numbers achieved by the title.

To further confirm the game's success, the results of its original soundtrack have also been impressive, gathering 617 million streams (645 million including the soundtracks "Nos vies en Lumière" and "Verso's Drafts"). To celebrate a year of market availability, the game is on discount until April 27 on Steam.

Given these numbers, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 can only be deemed a significant commercial success, unexpectedly appealing to many players.
