Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Soundtrack Topped 2 Billboard Charts

Billboard updated its charts for the week, and the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 game soundtrack hit the number one spots in both the Classical Albums and Classical Crossover Albums categories. This is its first week in first place in both divisions. 

The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack released on April 24, 2025, the same day the game launched. It could be found on streaming services like Soundcloud and Spotify, as well as purchased via storefronts like Amazon, Apple, and Steam. Lorien Testard composed the entire score, with Alice Duport-Percier contributing vocals. As a whole, the album consists of 154 tracks that appear throughout the game.

The process that led to Testard composing the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack is an unexpected one. As Sandfall shared on the game’s launch day, Director Guillaume Broche found songs Testard composed in the hopes of becoming a video game music composer on a forum and SoundCloud. After hearing the examples and talking with him, Broche offered Testard the job.

There’s also a “Behind the Music” video that explained Testard’s process and showed some recording session footage while playing samples of the game’s tracks.
