The highly rated co-op adventure that is Sea of Thieves has arrived on PS5, marking developer Rare's first ever release on PlayStation platforms, if you can believe it. The game first launched for Xbox One and PC back in 2018, and it's been heavily updated over the years, to the point where it's managed to maintain a very healthy community.
As you can probably tell by our Sea of Thieves PS5 review, we're big fans. "Sea of Thieves is a blast when playing with friends. With its focus on cosmetic customisation, we slipped into the pirate’s life with ease – even after six years of updates and seasonal changes," we wrote.
We concluded: "It might not have the same level of grind that a lot of players look for in a live service game, but there’s endless pirate fun to be had here, and we’re glad that PlayStation players finally have the opportunity to join in on the swashbuckling chaos." An 'excellent' 9/10.

Just not my sort of game. If it had a meaty solo story mode I may have checked it out at some point but as it is it doesn't interest me.
I miss Rare of SNES and N64 eras.
I also loved Kameo
SoT is my night time hang out with buddies game. I'm still neck deep in FF7:RB and other games have my attention. But for a few hours now and then, it's been a good time with friends. Decent game, but definitely is a social experience.
I fooled around with it in Game Pass for a bit years ago, it was fun for a session but couldn't really see the appeal past that, I think it just wasn't my cup of tea.
I'm playing on GamePass and it's a lot of fun.
Removed - trolling/baiting
Nah, I'll skip this one since it isn't possible to play solo.
Didn’t like it on Xbox, so not playing it on PS5. Happy there’s an audience for the game though, as I’d like to see other honest attempts at something similar to it.
Helldivers 2 is more my multiplayer bag
I’m playing it but what is annoying is that cross play Xbox players get added to your boat and are constantly letting down the anchor and raising sails!!! Properly annoying
Between Hellidivers and fighting games, I don't really need another ongoing thing, so I'm not really looking into it.
No. Turns out I just didn't need any other pirate games after Assassin's Creed 4.
No but--have fun to those who bought and enjoyed it.
It’s not for me because I don’t have a crew and I heard solo isn’t fun but I would like to play it. It’s funny though how communities like here or resetera seems so against mp games yet this game is one of the best selling on the psn store and seems popular but the poll has the overwhelming majority saying it’s not for them.
I grew out of pirates a long time ago.
@Styledvinny79 You can disable crossplay
Yeah I'm playing it on PS5 even though I already played it on Xbox. In fact, I also bought the novels because I love the lore.
I have not play crossplay yet but like the game alot. Play 1 to 3 hours in day now to reach pirate legend 🏴☠️
YES! I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's the most fun I've had gaming in recent memory.
@CieloAzure Look at you with your big boy pants on. 🙄
@Deadhunter
Yeah those big boy slops. Enjoy trolling those kids 🙄
I can't play offline and the game forces you to use a mic.
I know a lot of gamers, not heard one of them who said have you played this game yet?
Played it for about 3 or 4 hours at release and maybe an hour a few years later. I’m tempted to try it again as I keep hearing it’s nothing like it was. But if I did, I would try again on Game Pass, I definitely wouldn’t buy it.
Wasn't this game laughed at and considered a joke on release? Why all the fuss just because an Xbox exclusive is now on PS5? 🤔
Played it on Xbox when it first came out, not my type of game since i have nobody to play ot with on Xbox, all my friends were on playstation where i have been excommunicated since 2019
@Zemo55 that's precisely the reason because it's now on playstation, any game is trash in eyes of ps/Nintendo fanboys until it comes to their system.
When starfield comes to PS5 it will suddenly stop being labelled "starfield" and will be the #1 seller on the ps store.
@Zemo55 The game released 6 years ago to average scores of 7 or lower. There have been a lot of updates to it since then and Aaron, the person who reviewed it, thought it's current state was worthy of a 9.
I'm not sure what fuss you're referencing though. 46% of this poll have no interest in it, another 29% aren't sure they'll ever bother playing it, and 10% intend to play it but haven't supported it's launch.
This isn't an accurate representation of it's popularity however, I believe it's sold very well, but I personally haven't seen people fussing over it.
Stellar Blade exists, so no
Not my type of game. But I will try it if it comes to Plus.
Got it for my youngest, he's been looking forward to it for a while. We're having a lot of fun with it
@Foxhound I have many solo hours under my (pirate) belt. There’s still a lot to do, you just have to be a bit cagey. Besides, battles are still fun even if you get sunk - you never really lose anything unless you go sailing around with a hold full of treasure chests.
I'd rather watch paint dry to be honest.
Oh all those people voting on not planning on playing it are missing out. One of the best co-op games of all time. I've been playing since launch and usually never play a game long term. This one has been in rotation since day 1. It's a true gem.
@rusty82
There is actually a lot of story content but it's still the kind you find in a live service game.
Like Destiny 2 or Warframe.
So a huge symptom of those and I don't know if they changed this, but the checkpointing system for this mode is very bad, as each session has, or maybe used to, last an hour or more in one go.
The last one themed on Monkey Island was quite fun!
@Old_Man_Harper Good to know, thanks! I'll buy it eventually at a discounted price then.
