Sea of Thieves Sails to PlayStation as Microsoft Pursues Cross-Platform Strategy
-
Sea of Thieves is coming to PlayStation on April 30, 2024 and is currently the #1 most preordered game on PSN in the U.S.
-
Sea of Thieves is one of the first Xbox console exclusives to come to PlayStation as part of Microsoft's strategy to bring games to more platforms.
-
The plan is controversial but could allow Microsoft's games to reach more users if successful rather than trying to attract users to Xbox alone.
-
It remains to be seen if this strategy grows the active user base or just shifts existing Xbox users to PlayStation when given the choice.
-
Sea of Thieves has already reached tens of millions of players on Xbox and PC, so PlayStation launch presents a major new revenue opportunity.
