Sea of Thieves Sails to PlayStation After 6 Years as Xbox Exclusive
-
Rare's pirate adventure game Sea of Thieves is coming to PlayStation 5 on April 30 after being an Xbox exclusive since its launch in 2018.
-
Sea of Thieves was designed around a "tools not rules" philosophy - giving players freedom to create their own stories without overarching narratives or complex progression systems.
-
After a rocky launch, continual updates and expansions including Pirates of the Caribbean and Monkey Island tie-ins have helped the game find its audience and thrive over 6 years.
-
Preparing to welcome a whole new PlayStation community has led the Sea of Thieves team to rethink onboarding and progression to make the game more approachable.
-
With the "foundational experience" now expanded, 2023 promises enriching existing mechanics like captaincy and guilds to keep evolving the sandbox gameplay.
