Yes, Sandfall Interactive's beautiful RPG really is as good as everyone says it is. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 delivers a remarkable experience and does so with an accomplished use of Unreal Engine 5 and all of its cutting-edge features. Oliver delivers the verdict on each and every console version of the game and while there are some noticeable cutbacks on Series S, the game looks and runs very well on every other system.

10:56 Analysis and conclusion
- PS5 and Xbox Series X: Both offer two modes—Quality (30fps, higher resolution) and Performance (60fps, lower resolution). PS5 targets 1296p-1728p in Quality and 1080p-1440p in Performance, while Series X aims for 1440p-1728p in Quality and 1080p-1296p in Performance. Both maintain stable frame rates, though PS5 has a slight edge in resolution consistency.
- PS5 Pro: Enhances Quality mode with 1440p-2160p resolution via Sony's PSSR upscaling, offering sharper visuals. Performance mode mirrors PS5's but with better image clarity. Ray tracing is slightly improved, but differences are subtle.
- Xbox Series S: Limited to a single 30fps mode at 720p-1080p, with reduced settings (e.g., lower shadow quality, no ray-traced reflections). Performance is stable but visually compromised compared to other platforms.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 delivers high-end UE5 visuals with solid performance
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 delivers high-end UE5 features on PS5, Pro and Series X along with an impressive 60fps mode... but Series S is a compromised 30fps.
