By Overshadowed by Oblivion? Not at all!
When Oblivion Remastered was unexpectedly released earlier this week, many immediately considered Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and how this significant title might affect it.
There were whispers suggesting it might be disregarded and diminished by Bethesda’s remaster — and we might have been among those thinking so, as it appeared to be the most probable scenario!
Nonetheless, the astounding reviews for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 have generated considerable interest in the new RPG, which has already exceeded the 500,000 sales mark within just 24 hours, despite being available through Xbox and PC Game Pass.
This information was shared on social media by the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 team earlier today:
Checking the Top Sellers chart on Steam, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is currently positioned in a commendable 3rd place, with a peak player count of 70,000 at this writing. Oblivion Remastered remains in the lead with a peak player count of 190,000, yet we believe Expedition 33 is performing remarkably well given the circumstances.
It’s great to see that the sudden launch of Oblivion hasn’t led to any significant setbacks for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and now the only dilemma is that we have two phenomenal journeys to experience on Xbox Game Pass simultaneously! We know you rely on us for Xbox updates, but honestly, we could use a short break right about now…
