In this SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED, I break down how speedrunners beat the 2025 Game of the Year, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, in 63 minutes. This Any% (Restricted) run is performed by the world record holder, PeteSwanson, who also helped with the script. This category bans things such as the Stat Glitch and Renoir Skips, both of which I touch on in the video. This run also underwent a lot of rerouting during the production of this video. Due to the reroutes, we didn’t have the run recorded for this until a week into July. It was an absolutely incredible experience getting to see the run develop in real time during production. This run also features careful Pictos and Skills selections, optimization of Lumina, and multiple skips (Goblu Skip, Monoco Skip, and Old Lumiere Skip to name a few). The careful routing combined with Pete’s expert gameplay makes this run incredibly satisfying to watch.
