Sea of Thieves is a colourful pirate adventure where you go loot with friends and compete against other players. Elite Gamer played with a few loyal shipmates to find out if the game is only a short-term comedy affair or if we can expect a long-term playable experience.
Opinion: Why Helldivers 2 and Sea of Thieves, despite their obvious differences, are very much the same for PlayStation and Xbox
Sea of Thieves stared off life as an Xbox exclusive, growing over time into a genuine hit with a large, committed community. Now, in an effort to increase its audience still futher, it's become a key part of Microsoft's multi-platform push.
So, no one wants to talk about how the PS5 outperforms the xbox version in multiple ways, huh?
Draw distance better / shadows better
Also he calls most ps5 “oddity’s” and uses the term “not sure why this is happening” a lot
Ps5 is just more powerful, those 2teraflop difference and Xbox fanatics saying world most powerful console, is worth zip- zero
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
Great!
Great! Here's hoping that MS continues to right the ship for Xbox gamers!
Hopefully we keep seeing scores like this!
Great score... but how the F did they determine it's a 9.3 already? I mean did they even get to the end game stuff? I know MS didn't give out really early codes, the most anyone got was a day early for streamers...
So not sure I can really trust this review. I mean I'm playing it and I'm not sure I'd give it a 9/10 until I see what the end game has to offer.
did those guys play the game for 1h before writing the review?
