Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold 8 million copies in its first year, Sandfall Interactive said on April 24. (expedition33.com) (gematsu.com) The game launched on April 24, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, with availability on Game Pass from day one. (gematsu.com) (kepler-interactive.com) Sandfall and Kepler tied the sales announcement to the game’s first-anniversary update, which adds a new haircut for Gustave, Verso, Maelle, Lune, Sciel, and Monoco. (expedition33.com) (ign.com) Those cosmetics are not auto-unlocked: players have to buy Gustave’s haircut from a Gestral Merchant near Stone Wave Cliffs, while the other five are sold near Grosse Tête on the world map. (ign.com) Patch 1.5.5 also fixes a menu issue tied to the Danseuse outfit for Lune and Sciel, restores access to some rest points, and adjusts achievement text. (ign.com) The 8 million figure caps a fast first year. Kepler said 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. (gematsu.com) Sandfall also said Expedition 33 was the most-downloaded new third-party release on Xbox Game Pass in 2025, a sign that its reach extended beyond paid unit sales. (ign.com) The anniversary post added a 20% Steam discount, free community emotes, and new merchandise made with Orcival and Le Béret Français. (expedition33.com) The game’s profile has expanded beyond sales. IGN reported this week that actor Charlie Cox discussed the planned film adaptation and said he would return to provide Gustave’s voice while suggesting Robert Pattinson for the on-screen role. (ign.com) A year after launch, Sandfall is marking the milestone with a small patch and a much larger number: 8 million copies sold for its first game. (expedition33.com)
