Massive Price Drop for Award-Winning PS5 RPG
PlayStation 5 owners have a rare opportunity to secure what is widely considered the frontrunner for 2025's Game of the Year award at a price that harks back to a bygone era of gaming. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a critical and commercial smash hit, is now available on the PlayStation Store with a substantial discount on its Deluxe Edition.
Record-Breaking Nominations and Critical Acclaim
Since its launch in April 2025, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has taken the gaming world by storm. The game has achieved a monumental feat by securing a record-breaking 12 nominations for The Game Awards 2025, including coveted categories like Game of the Year and Best Game Direction. Its success is further cemented by impressive sales, with over 5 million copies sold across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows platforms by October. Players have been captivated by its compelling narrative, enchanting musical score, and addictive turn-based combat system.
A Blast from the Past: Pricing from the PS3 Era
In a market where top-tier PS5 releases commonly command a £70 price tag, this sale is a significant anomaly. The Deluxe Edition of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been reduced by 20 per cent, slashing its price from £49.99 to just £39.99. This brings the cost in line with what gamers would have paid for a major new release during the PlayStation 3 and early PlayStation 4 era, making it an exceptional value proposition for a modern, high-calibre title.
The deal, which runs until midnight on November 21, represents the lowest price for the Deluxe Edition in the past month. This version is packed with extra content, including:
- The full base game.
- The 'Flowers' Collection, which adds new outfits and hairstyles.
- A custom outfit for both main characters, Maelle and Gustave.
For those looking to maximise their savings, a further discount can be found by purchasing PlayStation Store credit from retailers like Loaded (formerly CD Keys), where £40 of credit costs just £36.99.
What Makes Expedition 33 a Must-Play?
Set in a world inspired by Belle Époque France, the game's story follows a final mission to destroy the Paintress, a fearsome creature who dooms the population by painting a number each year; everyone of that age subsequently turns to smoke. Players can control six unique characters, each with distinct skill trees, weapons, and mechanics. The combat innovatively blends traditional turn-based strategy with real-time actions such as dodging and parrying, offering a fresh take on the RPG genre.
With dozens of hours of gameplay and its status as a prime Game of the Year contender, this price reduction makes Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 an unmissable deal for any PS5 owner.
