Is Clair Obscur Expedition 33 port on Switch, PS4 and Xbox One possible? You may not like the answer
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is out on PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5. However, what about older consoles like Switch, PS4 and Xbox One?
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is out now. This dystopian jRPG inspired by a French artistic period called Belle Epoque is, alongside Blue Prince, one of the highest-rated titles of 2025 by critics so far. So, it’s something which you should try, if you have the opportunity. Of course, the game has some technical problems on PC. If you are bothered by that, you can try consoles, right? But which ones? Let’s check whether Expedition 33 will be available on Xbox One, Switch or PS4.
Is Clair Obscur Expedition 33 port on Switch, PS4 and Xbox One possible?
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is made on beloved by all players Unreal Engine 5. So, as you might expect PC players already reported some stuttering. However, performance is not as tragic as it could be. Most of the players seem to not be bothered by major issues (except crashes, but it is a totally different story).
But what about consoles? The game is currently available on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. So, players with eight generation hardware may feel disappointed. And it’s quite safe to assume that the situation will not change in the future. Like I said, the game is written on Unreal Engine 5. This engine is far from being called undemanding. It can require a lot of computing power and even powerful PC’s sometimes struggle to deal with it.
Theoretically, on consoles the situation is easier, because the game is programmed on specific system and hardware configuration. Xbox One and PS4, however, are simply outdated consoles, removed from the stores before the official UE5 release. So, they may simply not have enough power to run this game.
The Nintendo situation is more complicated. You can be sure that Clair Obscur Expedition 33 will not be released on the first Switch. This console is simply too weak. However, powered by Nvidia components, Switch 2 looks like a more realistic option. DLSS support definitely increases the chances for a port.
