《光與影：33號遠征隊》Steam在線峰值再創新高，根據SteamDB數據，該作的同時在線峰值達到98591人，接近10萬。
考慮到該作首發登陸了Game Pass，遠遠吊打了同樣是2A遊戲的Xbox第一方遊戲《午夜之南》和近年來的3A大作，比如《刺客教條：暗影者》、《闇龍紀元：紗障守護者》和《印第安納瓊斯：古老之圈》。
尤其是《刺客教條：暗影者》和《闇龍紀元：紗障守護者》，這兩個都是首發70美元的大作，背後是數百人甚至上千人的製作團隊，這也是為什麼有玩家感嘆《光與影：33號遠征隊》這個只有33人的小團隊讓當今的3A遊戲行業蒙羞。

Give devs the time, freedom and the money and stop taking players like sheep with 70$ dogshit games that come out unfinished pic.twitter.com/ImU6fk0MiH

值得一提的是，英國男演員「夜魔俠」Charlie Cox在《光與影：33號遠征隊》中奉獻了其完美的表演，但玩家幾乎沒有發現這一點，也沒有得到應有的稱讚。實際上這是Cox首次為電子遊戲獻聲。
Charlie Cox honestly isn't getting nearly enough praise for his performance in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. He absolutely killed it as Gustave and is by far my favourite character in the game.

Absolutely insane to me that this was essentially his first voice acting job pic.twitter.com/YRP89PDRbL
