Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has become a real surprise hit in 2025. The developers are already celebrating a special anniversary of the game. This happens to be related to the number 33.
What kind of anniversary is this? The developers posted on X that they released their game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 33 days ago and that the game has now also sold 3.3 million copies. Since this is quite a coincidence, they emphasize in their post that this is no joke: ‘Seriously. Since today. We couldn’t make this up.’

The community is excited about the success of the game
The developers also thank the players by saying that this surreal moment has only become real because of their support.
How does the community react? The community expressed their excitement about the extraordinary anniversary under the post:
- @LibertyMario thanks the developers for the game (via X): ‘Expedition 33 has brought fresh air to the genre, and you will go down in history because you developed such a great game with such a small team.’
- @Dansgaming says (via X): ‘You deserve every sale! One of the best games I’ve ever played, and I’ve played a lot of them!’
- @kwehzy writes (via X): ‘You all deserve every crumb of this success! Thank you for releasing such a beautiful game at a time when I needed it the most!’
It remains to be seen how the success of the game will continue to develop, but it is definitely on the right track. The 3.3 million copies sold clearly speak for the success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The developers themselves probably did not expect the success at the beginning: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was supposed to get a DLC from the very beginning, but due to the incredible success, everything is different now
