Clair Obscur Tops 8.7 Million Units Despite Day-One Game Pass
The estimate suggests a Game Pass launch can sit alongside strong standalone sales rather than replacing them, though the source presents that reading as the analyst's explanation rather than a confirmed result.

Alinea Analytics estimates Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold 8.7 million units and earned 366 million dollars (about 57.47 billion yen). Steam accounts for 58.8% of sales, PS5 35.7%, and Xbox 5.5%. Analyst Rhys Elliott attributes the low Xbox share to the game's day-one Game Pass availability, with 4.3 million players on the service. The estimates are not official figures from the developer or publisher.
Steam is the largest slice of the estimate at 58.8%, with PS5 at 35.7% and Xbox at 5.5%. Elliott attributes the Xbox share to the day-one Game Pass release, and 4.3 million people played through the service across console and PC combined. Just under 700,000 have played via subscription since the start of 2026.
Game Pass availability of the title ends on October 15, and Elliott reports Xbox version sales picking up after the year-and-a-half deal, while saying it is too early to judge the trend. France, where the game was developed, is the third-largest market on both Steam and PlayStation.
