Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 got a small update for its one-year anniversary today, but what if you’re one of the people who has somehow managed to skip the game despite 12 months of acclaim and awards show sweeps? New haircuts for its cast of sad people mean nothing to you, right? Well, have you considered that it’s a great time to finally see what all the fuss is about? The game’s on sale on Steam for the next week.
The standard edition of Sandfall Interactive’s RPG is a bit cheaper on Steam until April 30, and will run you just $40. This includes all the free updates the game has received in the past year, so if you want a wonderful RPG that will hurt you so good emotionally and also give you a dynamic, challenging turn-based battle system to master, you can do it for a bit cheaper on PC.
If you’re already subscribed to Game Pass, you can just play it on Xbox at no additional cost, but if you’ve got a PC that can run it, $40 isn’t a bad deal. Though Clair Obscur can be completed in a brisk 30 hours or so, it has plenty of high-level endgame challenges to sweeten the deal, and the free updates Sandfall has been adding bring new trials for skilled players. That said, nothing is more difficult than the harrowing story of grief it tells, which always manages to keep you on your toes.

Once you’re done with it, you can join the rest of us in waiting to see what Sandfall Interactive does next.
