Rumors Suggest Sea of Thieves Might Sail Onto PlayStation Platforms

Microsoft has reportedly considered the idea of releasing Sea of Thieves on PlayStation and even on Nintendo Switch. It is unclear whether these plans are currently in development or if they have been put on hold by Xbox, the company behind the Rare-made pirate game.

Game File mentioned that they spoke with a source familiar with the potential port of Sea of Thieves to PlayStation, but were unable to confirm if it is still being worked on. Additionally, Jeff Grubb of Our Website's sister site Giant Bomb stated on Game Mess Mornings that he also heard rumors of the pirate game coming to Sony's system and Nintendo Switch.

Last March, Sea of Thieves marked its five-year anniversary, with over 30 million players engaging in the multiplayer-focused game. It has been a key title on Xbox Game Pass for both Xbox consoles and PC.

Additionally, there are reports indicating that more Xbox games may soon be available on competing platforms. One notable potential first-party title mentioned is Hi-Fi Rush on the Switch. Previously, Microsoft has already brought Ori and the Blind Forest to Nintendo's system, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps has also made its way to the hybrid console.

All these games are accessible through Xbox Game Pass. However, Xbox head Phil Spencer recently stated that Microsoft currently has no intention of making Game Pass available on PlayStation or Nintendo. With the company's recent purchase of Activision Blizzard, they may consider releasing titles across multiple platforms on a case-by-case basis.

Editor's P/S

As a hard fan of Sea of Thieves, I am thrilled by the rumors suggesting its potential arrival on PlayStation platforms. The game's captivating pirate adventure gameplay has captivated millions of players, and expanding its reach to a wider audience on PlayStation would be a fantastic move. The prospect of battling it out on the high seas with a diverse community of players across different platforms is incredibly exciting. I eagerly await official confirmation from Microsoft and Rare regarding this exciting development.

Furthermore, the reports of other Xbox games potentially making their way to competing platforms, such as Hi-Fi Rush on the Nintendo Switch, further fuel my enthusiasm. Microsoft's willingness to bring its exclusive titles to a broader audience demonstrates their commitment to inclusivity and expanding the gaming experience for all. While the absence of Xbox Game Pass on PlayStation and Nintendo may be disappointing, the possibility of individual game releases on these platforms is still a significant step forward. I hope that Microsoft continues to explore these opportunities and allows more players to enjoy the exceptional games they have to offer.
