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

Developer Sandfall Interactive has proudly announced that the soundtrack for their latest game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has reached the top of the Billboard album charts shortly after its release. This achievement underscores the game's widespread appeal, particularly its enchanting music, which has become a focal point of discussion among fans on social media.

The success of the soundtrack is evident on the Billboard website, where Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 currently holds the number one position on both the Classical Albums and Classical Crossover Albums charts. Additionally, Sandfall revealed that the soundtrack has secured the 13th spot on the Official Soundtrack Album chart and the 31st position on the Official Album Download chart. This indicates that players are not only captivated by the game's narrative and gameplay but are also deeply engaged with its dreamlike musical backdrop.

The impact of a video game soundtrack resonating so profoundly with music enthusiasts is a remarkable achievement, made even more impressive by the fact that the composer, Lorien Testard, was discovered on SoundCloud, as Sandfall shared in an interview with BBC.

Launched on April 24, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S (including Game Pass), Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has already surpassed the 2 million copies sold mark within less than two weeks. This success story has garnered significant praise, including a congratulatory message from French President Emmanuel Macron.
