Clair Obscur outshines rivals, Xbox Game Pass gets its star

Sandfall Interactive dropped its first-ever game and it absolutely crushed the competition on Game Pass, beating out even the surprise Oblivion remaster that landed the same week. Creative director Guillaume Broche said the studio was super nervous about launching their debut title, but Xbox helped get the word out early through their Developer Direct showcase. The turn-based RPG ended up becoming the platform's biggest third-party release of the entire year, measured by how many people jumped in during the first month.

Game Pass basically lets people who normally skip turn-based stuff give it a shot without risking cash upfront, and apparently, tons of curious players got hooked once they started exploring. The game already swept seven awards at the Golden Joysticks and has a dozen nominations coming up at The Game Awards, so the hype train keeps rolling.
