Rare has revealed that the number of Sea of Thieves players has surpassed 40 million, an impressive achievement for the game. This impressive milestone was achieved around the time Sea of Thieves completed its highly popular beta for PlayStation 5.
On March 18, she celebrated her sixth anniversary circulation του στα PC και το Xbox το Sea of Thieves. Το παιχνίδι πειρατών υπηρέτησε με μέτριες κριτικές, αλλά εξελίχθηκε σε ένα παιχνίδι με μια υγιή κοινότητα παικτών, κυρίως λόγω της σταθερής ροής νέου περιεχομένου. Η έκδοση του Sea of Thieves για το PS5 announced in February 2024 as part of its rebranding Microsoft in cross-platform game distribution.
Το Sea of Thieves Ξεπερνά τους 40 Εκατομμύρια Παίκτες στα PC και στο Xbox Αφού ολοκληρώθηκε το beta του παιχνιδιού για το PlayStation, ο Εκτελεστικός Παραγωγός της Rare, Joe Neate, αποκάλυψε ότι το παιχνίδι δράσης περιπέτειας συνεργασίας έχει υπερβεί τους 40 εκατομμύρια παίκτες συνολικά. Ο εκπρόσωπος του στούντιο διευκρίνισε ότι ο αριθμός αυτός περιλαμβάνει μόνο τις εκδόσεις του παιχνιδιού για το Xbox, το Microsoft Store και το Steam, χωρίς να παρέχει μια ανάλυση του αριθμού των παικτών ανά πλατφόρμα.
This number could probably increase significantly in the future, mainly due to PlayStation users. The game's recently completed PS5 beta was so popular that the Sea of Thieves servers struggled to keep up, with Rare even apologizing for the longer wait times to match players.
The test was only available to PS5 owners who pre-ordered the game, which makes the beta explosion all the more impressive.
Since Sea of Thieves pre-orders for PlayStation have been doing well even before its closed test began on April 12, it looks like the game is likely to improve its impressive player count even more in the future. While six years is a long time for a game to stay relevant, Rare's co-op title has stayed around for quite a while Stable in finding new players, averaging 7,5 million new players per year since its second anniversary. However, adding 5 million new users in just two months is the fastest growth Sea of Thieves has seen since its 2018 premiere.
Between Season 12 expected to launch in the summer of 2024 and the game's PS5 release on April 30th, Sea of Thieves looks to be in a good position to keep its momentum going.
Its PlayStation version may be the driving force behind its medium-term prospects, at least as far as Microsoft's expectations are concerned. This was recently suggested by Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer, who said that all Xbox games that go cross-platform in 2024 will be titles that the company has decided have already tapped into their audience in its ecosystem.
