The last official figure we heard was back in September 2025, when it had sold 4.4 million units. This means it’s nearly doubled its total over the last seven months or so.
“Thank you so so much to every single person who has played, created art, shared, streamed, discussed, and supported this game,” the team writes in its announcement.
Original Story: It’s been a full year since the release of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a turn-based RPG that quickly became a phenomenon.
To celebrate the game’s first anniversary, developer Sandfall Interactive has just released a new patch that, as well as some fixes and adjustments, introduces some brand new content for fans to enjoy.

It’s nothing too major, but with this update installed, you’ll have access to new haircuts for all playable characters. You’ll need to visit specific merchants in the game to grab them.
Here are the official patch notes:
New content
Added 1st Anniversary haircuts for the expedition!
Gustave’s Anniversary haircut is available at the Gestral Merchant near Stone Wave Cliffs.
Verso + Maelle + Lune + Sciel + Monoco’s Anniversary haircuts are available at the Gestral Merchant near Grosse Tête on the World Map.
Fixes
Fixed an issue where Danseuse outfit for Lune and Sciel made the character menu too obscur.
Fixed an issue where it was not possible to open a rest point in various locations when an in-world dialogue was playing.
Fixed collision issues in various locations.
Adjusted some achievement text for consistency.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 released to overwhelmingly positive reviews, which came as something of a surprise given it was a debut game made on a relatively small budget.
It went on to become the story of 2025; an underdog that won over critics and players alike, sold millions of copies, and picked up more awards than any other game before it.
