Source: Xbox has considered bringing hit Sea of Thieves to PlayStation
Microsoft has looked into launching its hit Xbox and PC multiplayer pirate game Sea of Thieves on PlayStation, a source familiar with plans for the port tells Game File.
While Microsoft has released some of its first-party published games on rival platforms before, this would be the first time the company ports one of its marquee Xbox/PC games to its most direct competitor, Sony.
Microsoft previously released two externally developed games in the Ori series on Nintendo’s Switch some time after their original release on Xbox and PC. And the company regularly releases games in its Minecraft franchise simultaneously across Xbox, PC, PlayStation and Switch.
Over the weekend, an Xbox rep declined to comment when I asked about Sea of Thieves and PlayStation. Since Friday, rumors have been swirling about Microsoft considering taking more exclusive games to other platforms (Reporter Jeff Grubb also mentioned this morning that he’d heard about Sea Of Thieves to PS5 and Switch; I’d only heard about PlayStation, possibly for an early 2024 release, and have been trying to source it more extensively since then).
I am unable to verify if Sea of Thieves to PlayStation is still an active plan for Microsoft.
Sea of Thieves, developed by Microsoft studio Rare, has been exclusive to Microsoft’s console and Windows PCs since its 2018 debut. Microsoft has treated it like a marquee exclusive, along the lines of its hit Halo, Gears of War and Forza games, which, for the last several years, have shipped on its consoles and PC. Sea of Thieves, which Rare regularly expands with new content updates, has drawn more than 30 million players, according to Microsoft.
PlayStation is an obvious new platform for Sea of Thieves in terms of audience expansion. Games with extensive post-launch support perform best when they reach a maximum number of players who might be tempted to spend money in them.
But Sea of Thieves arriving on PlayStation would also be a significant plot twist in the colorful relationship between two gaming giants.
