Developer Sandfall Interactive and publisher Kepler Interactive have revealed that turn-based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has hit a major sales milestone within its first 24 hours on sale.
In a post on X, Sandfall reveals that the game has hit 500,000 sales, despite only being available for less than a day. That's a pretty impressive milestone by itself, but the game is also available on Game Pass, so it's managed to hit that figure despite being part of a subscription service (for certain tiers, at any rate).
Rather humbly, Sandfall and Kepler say the sales figure is "a milestone for us, reached sooner than we'd ever imagined", thanking those who've bought Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
If you're not familiar with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, it's a turn-based RPG set in a world inspired by Belle Époque-era France (in much the same way as the Soulslike Lies of P, although the two have very different gameplay).
The game is set in a world in which a figure known as the Paintress paints a number each year, and everyone of that age dies. Every year, the number gets lower, meaning more and more people are dying each time...
