It's nice to see "sale" numbers rather than "played" numbers.

Sold out everywhere. Waiting for physical to come back in stock to pick one up.

I'll be hopping in sometime this week now that I'm done with my first playthroughs of Oblivion and Tempest Rising. Already found a deal for the game only $35 lol. Time to see if this game is worth the hype!

There are probably like 2m or more people playing it through gamepass alone as well though.
If they announced the "players" it has had, that number would likely be over 4m by now imo.

Where did these numbers come from? Did you make them up or asked ChatGPT?

If you want the numbers:

Based on Weekly player engage time

Clair Obscur was number 12 on Xbox, Was number 15 on Steam and was number 25 on Playstation.

Yeah, this says something. Only hard to parse it. It does give Total Weekly Active Users, which in itself is a hard number, and then don't give absolute numbers, only platform specific ranking. Are #25 on PS more or less players than #12 on Xbox?

As it stands the only hard number is 2 million sales, which is great. If Sandfall doesn't gives us a breakdown per platform we simply don't know. And seriously - I don't even care. I am happy to play it and I am happy so many others do too.

Well I don't think you need to come close to a million players to reach 25 on PS , it is just amazing that you would think it would be way higher.

What surprises me the most is that you can play it on PC with gamepass aswell but still it reached top 15 on Steam and that platform is a beast in number of players. PC is carrying Clair Obscur.

Yeah, PC is a big platform and it being relatively high (compared to PS at least) is amazing. So yeah, this makes the breakdown the first post gives kinda unlikely. And again, that is why I doubted these numbers.

Anyways, anyone playing it has a good time I am sure and this includes the Gamepass players which aren't even part of these 2 million. Happy gaming!

someone mad xbox found this gem and put on their showcase and basically paid them upfront for gamepass and gave them financial security. LoL. Af far sales go I think the split is heavier in favor of pc.

Pretty much this lol, it will always amaze me how Gamepass triggers so many weirdos by simply existing.
