Sea of Thieves, the popular pirate-themed adventure game by Rare, has achieved a major milestone by selling over one million copies on the PlayStation 5. The game, which originally launched in 2018 for Xbox and PC, made its way to Sony’s platform earlier this year, marking a significant moment in Microsoft’s new multiplatform strategy.
According to Windows Central, trusted sources revealed that Sea of Thieves surpassed one million sales on the PS5 since its release in late April 2024. This achievement highlights the game’s enduring popularity, even years after its initial launch.
The game’s success on PlayStation 5 is part of Microsoft’s broader initiative to expand its games onto other platforms. This year alone, the company released several Xbox titles, including Grounded, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush, on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. The decision to move Xbox exclusives to other platforms seems to be paying off, with Sea of Thieves leading the charge.
This success could pave the way for more Xbox exclusives to become available on PlayStation in the future, reflecting a significant shift in the gaming industry’s landscape.
