Expedition Passes Huge Sales Milestone And Thats Not Even The Full Story Of Its Success

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developer Sandfall Interactive has announced that the game has already sold 500,000 copies, just after launch. In a social media post, the studio said the game reached this sales milestone "sooner than we'd ever imagined."

Expedition 33 is also on Game Pass, and presumably the 500,000 figure does not include people playing via the subscription service. Expedition 33 is the No. 2 best-selling game on Steam right now, only behind Oblivion Remastered, and it's reached more than 70,000 concurrent players. The game is also on PS5.

Some industry observers theorized that Expedition 33 might have had its lunch eaten by Oblivion Remastered, as it surprise-launched just two days before Expedition 33. Both are Game Pass titles, but clearly, there is enough room for multiple success stories this week. Both Bethesda and Sandfall shared congratulatory messages with each other regarding their respective game launches this week.
