Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Passes 5 Million Sales as Sandfall Announces Free Major Update

Sandfall will mark the milestone with a free cross‑platform update adding a new area, late‑game challenges, cosmetics, plus seven new languages in the coming months.

Overview

  • Kepler Interactive and Sandfall Interactive confirmed the RPG has sold more than five million copies since its April launch, despite being a day‑one Xbox Game Pass title.
  • The free content update will add a brand‑new location with fresh enemy encounters, challenging late‑game boss battles, and new costumes for every party member.
  • The update will be released at no cost on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, expand text and UI localization with seven languages to reach 19 total, and include additional surprises.
  • There is no firm date, with Sandfall describing timing as the “upcoming month(s)”; the team cites community‑driven quality‑of‑life improvements, including planned PC handheld compatibility.
  • The soundtrack has surpassed 333 million streams with extended Billboard chart runs, and the studio says it has begun early work on its next game while remaining a small, creatively focused team.
