Sandfall Interactive’s debut role-playing game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, is the biggest new third-party launch on Xbox Game Pass in 2025, based on number of unique users in the first 30 days it was available. Sandfall Interactive creative director Guillaume Broche says Game Pass allowed them to reach a much wider audience. Set in a whimsical fantasia that belies dark secrets, the game follows the eponymous Expedition on a doomed mission to save their city from the mysterious Paintress, a godlike being that has obliterated the city’s eldest cohort every single year for decades following a cataclysm. If you haven’t yet joined the Expedition, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is available now on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, handhelds (such as the new ROG Xbox Ally) and Xbox Cloud. It’s an Xbox Play Anywhere title and available with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Read more about it on Xbox Wire.
