"PlayStation 5 physical editions of Clair Obscur have been more challenging to find than the Xbox version. Amazon's new $60 Mirror Edition is actually the only PlayStation 5 physical edition in stock as of December 22. The PS5 standard edition is "temporarily out of stock" at Amazon, though you can still place an order. That said, Amazon is charging $60 for the standard edition--$10 higher than the original $50 MSRP--and the same price as the Mirror Edition. Every other major retailer is sold out of the standard edition for PS5, and GameStop's reprint of its exclusive $70 Lumiere Edition is out of stock, too. The standard edition for Xbox is $50 and in stock at multiple major retailers, and Steam keys are discounted to only $36 at GameSpot sister site Fanatical."
"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Mirror Edition Sandfall Interactive's debut game turned out to be a much bigger hit than anyone could have expected. In fact, it currently holds a 92 on Metacritic from reviewers--including a 9/10 from GameSpot--and a 9.6/10 user score. Along with winning Game of the Year at this year's Game Awards, Clair Obscur won GameSpot's GOTY award."
"In the wake of Clair Obscur's award wins this month, it became known that Sandfall Interactive used Generative AI while developing the turn-based RPG. AI artwork isn't in the current version of the game, but "temporary placeholder textures" were unintentionally included in the April launch build, according to Sandfall. In response to this discovery, The Indie Game Awards has retroactively disqualified Clair Obscur for violating the organization's rules"
Amazon restocked the Mirror Edition of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for PS5 and Xbox, which includes a physical copy, a steelbook, three collectible art cards, and an oversized display box with new artwork. PlayStation 5 physical editions remain scarce, with Amazon's $60 Mirror Edition the only PS5 physical edition in stock as of December 22 and the PS5 standard edition listed as "temporarily out of stock" while priced at $60. The Xbox standard edition is available for $50 at multiple retailers and Steam keys are discounted to $36. Clair Obscur earned strong review scores and Game of the Year honors, but Sandfall's use of generative AI during development led to retroactive disqualification from The Indie Game Awards after unintended inclusion of AI placeholder textures.
