Sandfall Interactive still hasn’t announced Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for Nintendo Switch 2. Right now, the studio says it’s “too early” to confirm a port. That said, the interest is clearly there, and the talk about a 2026 release is still just that: talk.
The main problem is technical. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was built for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and Sandfall Interactive co-founder and CTO Tom Guillermin says “a lot of features don’t work” on Nintendo Switch 2. Getting an Unreal Engine 5 version running there would take heavy optimization, probably a few compromises, and time from a fairly small team.
If you’re holding out for a Nintendo version, keep your expectations in check. The reason people want it is easy to see. Since launching in April 2025, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold more than 8 million copies, arrived on Game Pass, won Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2025, and picked up Famitsu’s developer-voted Game of the Year in Japan too.
There’s still some room for hope. Unreal Engine 5 has improvements like Lumen Lite, and other technically ambitious games are also making their way to Nintendo Switch 2. Even so, there hasn’t been any public technical breakdown showing how Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 would actually run on the system.
You can play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and through Game Pass.
