Sea of Thieves is making its debut on the PlayStation 5 on April 30, and the game is currently making waves near the summit of the US preorder charts for the platform.
The premium edition of Sea of Thieves stands out as one of the top-selling preorders, surpassing other highly anticipated titles such as the upcoming Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
Notably, even the standard edition of the game is performing impressively, securing the seventh position in the list of most-preordered games at present. Interestingly, Sea of Thieves had claimed the top spot in preorders on the PlayStation Store, as noted by Benji Sales, until it was overtaken by MLB The Show 24.
Crafted by Rare, Sea of Thieves will arrive on the PS5 exclusively as a digital release. This move is part of Microsoft’s strategy to bring some of its titles to other platforms, with games like Hi-Fi Rush and Grounded also slated for release on PlayStation and Switch.
Pentiment, the intricate narrative adventure from Obsidian Entertainment, became the pioneer title to venture beyond the Xbox Series and PC platforms earlier this year.
The PS5 version of Sea of Thieves introduces new features, including cross-play support and haptic feedback through the PlayStation DualSense controller. Updates for Sea of Thieves will continue to roll out simultaneously across all platforms.
In addition to the PS5 launch, Rare has hinted at more content for the game. This includes the introduction of a new loadout weapon, marking the first addition of its kind since the game’s initial release in 2018.
