92-Rated Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Is Already on Sale for 20% Off

One of this year’s best games is already discounted!

One of 2025โ€™s best-rated games is already on sale for a limited time, right as it released. Thatโ€™s right, the turn-based RPG smash hit Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which launched today, has already been given a big discount on one of its platforms. A homage to classic RPGs like Final Fantasy and Persona, Expedition 33 brings the joy of old turn-based combat with the flair of modern controls and visuals, all with a stellar soundtrack. However, the deal wonโ€™t last long, so if youโ€™re interested in purchasing it, now may be the best time to do so before, like those affected by the Gommage, will disappear into oblivion.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which came out today, is tied with Blue Prince as the highest-rated game of 2025 on Metacritic at 92. It beat out multiple other big name titles this year like Split Fiction, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. As the debut game from indie studio Sandfall Interactive, Expedition 33 is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, as well as Xbox Game Pass if youโ€™re a subscriber. Luckily for PC players, one site has a deal on the already cheaply priced RPG that feels as good as scoring a parry.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Is On Sale for Steam for One Week Only

Fanatical, known for collecting all the best deals for PC, has conjured up a huge sale on some of this yearโ€™s newest releases, like The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as part of their Level Up Sale. One of those games is, of course, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Both versions of the game, Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition, are discounted by 20% off the retail price. For the Standard Edition, the game is priced at $39.99 instead of $49.99, with the Deluxe Edition priced at $47.99 instead of $59.99. The link for the deal can be found here.

Itโ€™s important to note that the deal is only available for PC via Steam. Also, the deal is currently available for a week, ending on May 1st. Purchasing the deal on Fanatical will grant you a code which you can then redeem on Steam, so make sure you have the program before purchasing.

If you havenโ€™t heard of it, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a brand new original game by the 30-person team at Sandfall Interactive. Featuring an all-star cast like Daredevilโ€™s Charlie Cox, Baldurโ€™s Gate 3โ€™s Jennifer English, and The Lord of the Ringsโ€™ Andy Serkis, players will follow the journey of Expedition 33. Their mission? To kill the Paintress, a god-like being with the power to kill everyone of a certain age. With fresh turn-based combat, youโ€™ll take on many dangerous and otherworldly threats, meet new party members, and, hopefully, finish what the other Expeditions couldnโ€™t do and slay the Paintress once and for all. 

We at ComicBook reviewed the game and gave it a 4.5 out of 5, stating that โ€œSandfall Interactiveโ€™s debut game is one of this yearโ€™s must-play games and is a passionate, pitch-perfect homage to classic turn-based RPGs.โ€ Given that it just came out and will likely be the talk of the scene for a while, especially during award season, it might be the best time to meet Expedition 33 and slay the Paintress. It’s already been greenlit for a feature film, so even more fun is to be had with the new series. Even with it being $49.99 at its base price, 20% off is definitely a great way to have some great RPG fun at a cost that wonโ€™t break the bank too much. As a reminder, the PC-only deal on Fanatical ends on May 1st at 3 pm EST and can be found here.
