Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has continued its remarkable awards-season run, cementing its status as one of the most celebrated games in recent years. The game is dominating Game Developer Choice Awards nominations, and it shows no signs of stopping.

Expedition 33 breaks long-standing Game of the Year record

As reported by The Gamer, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has now secured more than 436 Game of the Year awards from outlets and industry organizations worldwide. That total pushes the game past the previous record holder, Elden Ring, which had accumulated 435 wins.

The milestone follows Expedition 33’s major victory at The Game Awards 2025, where it emerged as a standout winner. Its sustained presence at the top of critics’ lists highlights consistent praise across multiple regions and award bodies.

Expedition 33’s dominance has remained steady throughout the awards season, even as the game faced criticism related to its use of AI-assisted tools. Those concerns prompted the game’s director to issue an official statement addressing the controversy.

Despite that debate, the title continues to lead industry recognition and maintain strong momentum within the gaming market.
