Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 made a remarkable impact at The Game Awards 2025, securing nine out of ten awards, including prestigious titles like Game of the Year and Studio of the Year for Sandfall Interactive. This impressive achievement highlights the success of a small indie team that had a budget of under $10 million for this game.
Exciting New Update: Version 1.5
In a move sure to delight fans, Sandfall Interactive has released a substantial free update, version 1.5, for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This update introduces AMD FSR 4 support on PC and expands the in-game universe with Verso’s Drafts, a fresh environment filled with new enemies and secrets.

Players can now access the “Old Key” quest item in the final area, originally only available in the prologue, providing a second opportunity to collect journals. Localization has expanded with additional languages like Czech, Ukrainian, and more, raising the total to 19 supported languages, with future expansions planned.
