Clair Obscur Expedition 33 system requirements

Can I run Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

To run the Clair Obscur system requirements, you will need an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X CPU, an AMR Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 55GB of SSD space.

The surreal and enchanting world of Clair Obscur Expedition 33 might look like it'll demand a ton from your PC, but the reality couldn't be farther from the truth. The actual Expedition 33 requirements are actually really easy to meet, even on older laptops and PCs.

In fact, the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 minimum requirements only call for an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, an Intel Core i7-8700K processor, and 8GB of RAM. Relative to most modern releases, this is an incredibly low benchmark which virtually all machines less than five years old should be able to meet.

However, if you want to experience the game at its very best and meet the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 recommended specs, you'll need an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU, an Intel Core i7-12700K CPU, and 16GB of RAM. This is a fair step up from the minimum requirements, but will allow you to render the game in all its glory on a 1080p monitor at 60FPS.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 size - How big is Expedition 33?

The Clair Obscur Expedition 33 download size on Windows 10 OS or higher PCs and laptops requires 55GB of SSD space. HDDs are sadly not compatible with the game. 

So, if you need more space or want to make an upgrade, check the PCGamesN buyers guide for the best SSD for gaming or just check the latest, best prices for SSDs.

If, despite meeting all of these requirements, you're still having issues getting the game to run smoothly, consider dropping most of the in-game settings to "Medium". Testing from PCGamesN demonstrated that the best Clair Obscur Expedition 33 settings can deliver a solid 60FPS performance without sacrificing much in the way of graphical fidelity on the Medium settings, noting that there wasn't a huge difference in image quality between the Medium, High, and Epic graphics presets.  

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Steam Deck

Sadly, the official Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Steam Deck rating sits at "Unsupported" on account of the game's overall in-game performance on the Steam Deck. It seems, no matter how you adjust the in-game settings, the Steam Deck just can't run the game very well. This isn't to say that you can't get Clair Obscur running on the Steam Deck, far from it, but you won't get a consistent 30FPS even with all of the settings turned down to "Low" or "Disabled" where appropriate.
