Developer Sandfall Interactive has proudly announced that the soundtrack for their latest mega-hit turn-based RPG, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has soared to the top of the Billboard album charts shortly after its release. The game's music has become a standout feature, earning widespread acclaim across social media and now reflected in its chart-topping success.

Visiting the Billboard website, you'll discover that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is leading both the Classical Albums and Classical Crossover Albums charts. Sandfall also shared that the soundtrack has impressively secured the 13th spot on the Official Soundtrack Album chart and the 31st position on the Official Album Download chart. This achievement underscores the fact that fans are not only drawn to the game's captivating story and gameplay but also to its enchanting, dreamlike tunes that accompany the entire adventure.

The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack features over 150 individual tracks, many of which have garnered hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify. Among them, the epic track "Lumière" stands out as the most popular, boasting nearly 1.9 million views on YouTube and a similar number of streams on Spotify.

The resonance of a video game's music with fans to this extent is a remarkable accomplishment, particularly noteworthy because the soundtrack was crafted by composer Lorien Testard. As Sandfall revealed in an interview with BBC, Testard was discovered on SoundCloud, adding an inspiring layer to this success story.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was launched for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, as well as on Game Pass, on April 24, 2025, just under two weeks ago. In this short time, it has surpassed the 2 million copies sold milestone, cementing Sandfall's debut game as a resounding success. The game has received such widespread praise that even French President Emmanuel Macron offered his congratulations.
