Clair Obscur Expedition 33 System Requirements and Deluxe Edition Detailed
Fingers crossed for no UE5 stutter!
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 took everyone by surprise when it was revealed last year during the Xbox Games Showcase with its incredible visuals and massive turn-based battles. The title finally has a release date of April 2025. It’s coming to all major platforms including PC and is now up on storefronts to pre-purchase. Here is everything you need to know about the pricing, deluxe edition, and system requirements of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 System Requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| Target Resolution | 1080p | 1080p |
| Preset | Low | High |
| Target Framerate | 30 FPS | 60 FPS |
| OS | Windows 10/11 – 64-Bit | Windows 10 – 64-Bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i7-8700K AMD Ryzen 5 1600X | Intel Core i7-11700K AMD Ryzen 5 5600X |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB Intel Arc A580 8GB | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT 16 GB |

| Storage | 55 GB | 55 GB |
Despite its excellent visuals, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 doesn’t seem like it’s very demanding. At 1080p, if you’re targeting 60 FPS at the high preset, you’ll need something like an RTX 3070 paired with a Ryzen 5 5600X. There is no mention of upscaling in the specifications, but it’s fair to assume that the game will leverage DLSS/FSR/XeSS to improve performance.
It’s developed on Unreal Engine 5, so we can expect similar issues and potential performance issues, but we’re hopeful that the developers implement a shader compilation step at the start. Outside of that, the game requires 55 GB of free space, and 16 GB is recommended. An SSD isn’t listed here, but it’s safe to assume that you’ll need it.
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Deluxe Edition
Compared to the $50 Standard Edition, the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Deluxe Edition costs $60 instead and includes the following additional content:
- The “Flowers” Collection: Six outfits and hairstyles inspired by the Flowers of Lumière, along with six additional “Gommage” outfit variations. One for each playable character.
- “Clair” – A custom outfit for Maelle
- “Obscur” – A custom outfit for Gustave
Both the Standard and Deluxe editions are currently 10% off on all stores, and there is no pre-order-specific bonus.
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Collector’s Edition
Finally, there’s a Collector’s Edition available to pre-order that includes a ton of goodies.
- Monolith Music Box Statuette: 20.3cm tall, hand-painted, resin
- The Expeditioner’s Journal: 48-page hardcover artbook
- A Steelbook featuring Gustave, Maelle, and the Paintress
- The Digital Deluxe Upgrade Pack
This can be pre-ordered at Gamestop and Laced Records.
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Release Date
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is coming to PC, Xbox Series S|X, and the PS5 on April 24, 2025.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting releases of 2025, and it isn’t that far away from its launch either. We’re hopeful that the requirements really do represent the target performance and hope that the developers continue to polish and optimize the title for its launch on PC and current-generation consoles.
