Sandfall Interactive revealed today that their first RPG title, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has sold over 3.3 million units just 33 days post-launch, marking an extraordinary milestone.

“We can’t believe this ourselves,” states a message shared via the studio’s X account. “Your enthusiasm continues to turn the impossible into reality. Infinite gratitude to our players.”

The achievement highlights the game’s unexpected resonance with RPG fans. Notably, its release window—arriving shortly after The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered—didn’t hinder its momentum. Instead, the timing proved unexpectedly beneficial, drawing heightened attention to both titles.

Another key factor in its success was its simultaneous launch on Xbox Game Pass, granting immediate access to millions of subscribers. For Sandfall Interactive, a relatively new studio, this combination of visibility and accessibility has cemented their breakout project as a landmark debut.

Critics have lauded the title, with Wccftech’s Francesco De Meo noting in his review:

“While not reinventing the genre, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 captivates through masterfully executed mechanics and a profoundly affecting narrative. Sandfall Interactive’s maiden voyage showcases their ability to craft gameplay that resonates deeply, positioning this adventure as a strong contender for top honors this year.”
