Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 surpasses 5 million sales, free update incoming

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has officially passed 5 million copies sold across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, developer Sandfall Interactive announced. To mark the milestone, the studio is preparing a free update featuring new content, quality-of-life additions, and expanded language support — described by the team as a “thank you” to fans.

While a release date hasn’t been confirmed, Sandfall says the update will introduce a brand-new location filled with previously unseen enemies and challenging new boss fights aimed at late-game players. Each party member will receive a new costume, and the update will also add seven more supported languages: Czech, Ukrainian, Latin American Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian, bringing the total to 19.

Sandfall had first hinted at additional content and localization features in June. The studio also acknowledged community requests for a photo mode and hinted at future plans for the Clair Obscur universe, which is expected to continue in later projects despite the team already working on a new game.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launched to universal critical acclaim earlier this year and sold 3.3 million copies within its first month — despite being available on Xbox Game Pass. The game became an unexpected breakout hit for the small French studio Sandfall Interactive, which developed the game with a core team of just 33 people. A few team members had prior experience at Ubisoft, while the majority had never worked in game development before.
