Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is obviously a big hit around the world. On Steam, the game passed the concurrent player peaks of some genre behemoths like Metaphor: ReFantazio, and it's sold millions of copies despite launching into Xbox Game Pass on its first day. But it's also attracted tons of praise in developer Sandfall Interactive's home turf of France too.
Close to launch, French President Emmanuel Macron took time out of his probably busy day to shout out the global hit in a social media post. "A million copies and to date, one of the best-rated games in history: and yes, it's French!" Macron wrote at the time. "Congratulations to Sandfall Interactive and all the creators of Expedition 33. You are a shining example of French audacity and creativity."
