Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sales numbers – How many people are playing and paying?

It's not hard to see why, between its excellent gameplay, stupendous voice acting and rather quick time to beat, there are endless reasons to love it.

So, how many copies has Expedition 33 sold following all that hype? You can read on for the full breakdown of sales and player numbers for the game in the months since release!

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sales numbers

At the time of writing, developer Sandfall Interactive has confirmed that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold over 5 million copies.

The team announced that the game had hit the 500,000 sales mark less than 24 hours after release.

This was then followed up only two days later with a post on X marking that the game had breached 1 million copies sold in three days – a remarkable feat for the studio.

Sandfall later confirmed that, very fittingly, the game had officially reached 3.3 million sales just 33 days after its launch.

The most recent announcement came in October 2025, around six months after launch, when the official Expedition 33 Twitter account confirmed that the game had passed the 5 million sales mark.

Even more impressively, this number does not include anyone playing on Xbox Game Pass, meaning the player count may actually be significantly higher.

Doing some very rough estimation, assuming that every copy was purchased for the full retail price of around £42 (~$50 in the US), that means at least £210 million ($280 million) in sales for the studio, before even factoring in Deluxe Edition sales or how much it has earned from being featured on Game Pass.

For comparison, another hit 2025 RPG, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, took four days to breach the 1 million mark, and that was with an already-established fan base rolling over from the first game.

As for future sales beyond that, we simply won't know how many units over 5 million have been sold until it's announced by Sandfall itself.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 player count

Unfortunately, we can't provide an accurate total player count for Expedition 33 because Xbox and PlayStation do not showcase player numbers, so the most we have to go on is the aforementioned 1 million copies sold figure.

We can, however, see how the game is performing on Steam thanks to tracking website SteamDB, and Expedition 33 is performing very well indeed.

From release, the game's player count rose steadily, eventually reaching a concurrent player count of 121,422 on 27th April.

But the game's rampant rise continued on into May, where it hit a peak concurrent player count of 145,063 on 4th May.

Outside of this peak, the game managed to consistently hit the 90-100k player mark, putting it alongside mammoth titles like Marvel Rivals, Baldur's Gate 3 and Monster Hunter Wilds, although it dropped off to around 50-60k by the end of May.

Again, this is all the more impressive when one considers that many PC players will likely be playing the game via Xbox Game Pass, detracting from the game's Steam count.

As with any single-player game, once players started finishing it, the player count began to drop quite steadily, but as of October 2025, the game continues to rack up 24-hour peaks of around 10,000 concurrent players on Steam.
