Analyst claims Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is selling twice as fast as any other recent JRPG has on Steam—and it's got me wondering what the secret sauce is

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 might be a front-runner for my own GOTY personal pick in 2025—its hooks are well and truly in my skin, ticking all the right boxes for my inner RPG and Sekiro freaks. A banger soundtrack, gripping story, and an all-around good first showing from Sandfall Interactive has seen it reach major success, despite living in Oblivion Remastered's shadow.

In fact, it's apparently outselling Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Persona, and Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth at a whopping 2:1 ratio.
