Pirates have taken over the PlayStation: Sea of Thieves becomes the second best-selling PS5 game in the US

The cooperative pirate action game Sea of Thieves became the 4th Xbox Games Studios game (after Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, and Grounded) to be released after a long pause on PlayStation 5. And as it turned out, players were eagerly waiting for the game to appear on Sony's console, as the project was greeted very warmly.

Here's What We Know

Circana analyst Mat Piscatella said that Sea of Thieves is off to a great start on PlayStation 5 in the US market. The game took 2nd place in the weekly list of best-selling games. Before that, it was on the 36th place, because the owners of the extended edition started playing 5 days before the official release (30 April).

Flashback

In Sea of Thieves, players will sail, fight, explore, and loot - everything you need to live the pirate life and become a legend. With no predefined roles, you have complete freedom to approach the world and other players as you see fit.

Explore a huge open world filled with untouched islands and underwater kingdoms. Complete quests, search for lost loot, earn reputations with trading companies, and fight enemies ranging from ghosts and ocean crawlers to megalodons and the mighty kraken.

The game is also available on Xbox, PC, and Game Pass.
