Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 passed 8 million copies sold on April 24, 2026, exactly one year after its release. (gematsu.com) Publisher Kepler Interactive and developer Sandfall Interactive announced the sales milestone on the game’s first anniversary. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launched on April 24, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. (gematsu.com) (sandfall.co) The anniversary news arrived alongside patch 1.5.5, a free update that added new anniversary haircuts for Gustave, Verso, Maelle, Lune, Sciel, and Monoco. The patch also included minor bug fixes and enhancements. (ign.com) (store.steampowered.com) Those cosmetics are not unlocked automatically. Players have to buy Gustave’s haircut from the Gestral Merchant near Stone Wave Cliffs, while the other five are sold by the Gestral Merchant near Grosse Tête on the world map. (ign.com) Sandfall’s first-year sales pace was unusually fast for a new role-playing game from a new studio. The game sold 500,000 copies in one day, 1 million in three days, 2 million in under two weeks, and 3.3 million in 33 days, before reaching 5 million in October 2025. (gematsu.com) (rpgsite.net) IGN also reported that Sandfall said Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was the most downloaded new third-party release on Xbox Game Pass in 2025, a sign that the audience extended beyond direct purchases. (ign.com) Patch 1.5.5 fixed an issue where the Danseuse outfit for Lune and Sciel distorted the character menu, restored access to some rest points during in-world dialogue, corrected collision problems, and adjusted achievement text. Sandfall later said it had to readjust some achievement descriptions back after an error. (ign.com) (store.steampowered.com) A year after launch, the anniversary package was small: one sales number, six cosmetic haircuts, and a short bug-fix list. It was enough to show that Expedition 33 is still selling and still being maintained across platforms. (gematsu.com) (store.steampowered.com)
