"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Soundtrack Hits No.1 on Billboard Classical Charts"

Developer Sandfall Interactive has triumphantly announced that the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack has soared to the top of Billboard album charts shortly after its release. As the mega-hit turn-based RPG continues to captivate fans, its music has emerged as a standout feature, resonating strongly on social media and now reflected in its chart-topping success.

Visit the Billboard website, and you'll discover that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 proudly holds the number one spot on both the Classical Albums and Classical Crossover Albums charts. Sandfall also shared that the soundtrack has impressively secured positions at 13 on the Official Soundtrack Album chart and 31 on the Official Album Download chart. This indicates that players are not only drawn to the game's compelling story and gameplay but are also deeply enchanted by its dreamlike tunes that accompany their entire adventure.

The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack is a vast collection, featuring over 150 individual tracks, many of which have garnered hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify. Among these, the epic track Lumière has emerged as the most beloved, amassing nearly 1.9 million views on YouTube and slightly over 1.9 million streams on Spotify.

For a video game to resonate so profoundly with music enthusiasts is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement, especially considering that the soundtrack was masterfully crafted by composer Lorien Testard. Sandfall revealed in an interview with BBC that Testard was discovered on SoundCloud, highlighting the incredible talent unearthed through modern platforms.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launched on April 24, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S (including Game Pass), and in just under two weeks, it has surpassed the impressive milestone of 2 million copies sold. This phenomenal success story has garnered widespread acclaim, with even French President Emmanuel Macron offering his congratulations.
