Building on its Game of the Year triumph at The Game Awards 2025, Sandfall Interactive's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 won a record nine awards out of 12 nominations. The Montpellier studio's debut RPG has sold 5 million copies since April, drawing from Belle Epoque Paris and Japanese RPGs.
Xbox Game Studios has yet to claim a Game of the Year award at The Game Awards. A upcoming title on Xbox Game Pass could change that trajectory in 2026. The game in question is positioned as a major headliner for the service.
