Sea of Thieves is coming to Steam and you’ll still be able to play with your friends on Xbox One.
We tend to give No Man’s Sky the most credit for rising from the ashes of a dismal release, but Sea of Thieves is no less its own phoenix. When Sea of Thieves launched back in March of 2018, critics praised it for its amazing environment, physics, and ship-to-ship combat, but lambasted the general lack of content. Sure, you could be a pirate, but so what if there wasn’t much for a pirate to do other than launch boarding actions against some schmuck?
But Sea of Thieves has changed a lot over the past two years. No less than 14 expansions have greatly enhanced the overall gameplay, added a metric boat-load of content, and have attracted the attention of 10 million sailors since the initial release. That makes it the biggest new IP to ever hit Xbox One and quite the hit for Rare.
And now, Sea of Thieves sets sail for Steam.
We don’t know when exactly Sea of Thieves will arrive on Steam, but we do know that it’ll be “soon.” Also, we’re promised that Sea of Thieves will have full crossplay with other Windows PC users and Xbox One players when it does eventually launch.
You can add Sea of Thieves to your Steam Wishlist today so you’re alerted when the game goes on sale. Along with the Steam launch will come yet another update with new features, enemies, challenges, achievements, cosmetics, islands, and a new player tutorial featuring the Pirate Lord himself. Rare is really not slowing down on this game!
If you’re a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean or even just a fan of pirates in general, you really owe it to yourself to give Sea of Thieves a try. There’s no other game like it on the seven gaming seas, and you’ll almost certainly have to wait a long time before another pirate game sails into harbor.
