Sea Of Thieves

To say that Rare are banking heavily on Sea of Thieves would be an understatement but it seems to be paying off. Bean counters at NPD announced the Microsoft exclusive to be Rare's best selling game ever and eight best selling in 2018.

If there have been any concerns over the new God of War, they had to be dispelled by now. Indeed, the game's director Cory Barlog can rest, because God of War not only garnered critical acclaim - it's doing well on the financial side too.

Having been criticised for lack of content in their swashbuckling adventure, Rare have responded by rolling out their first legendary ship customisation option for Sea of Thieves. If Rare are to be believed, this is just the first of many.

Far Cry 5 seems to have made itself quite comfortable in UK's boxed sales charts, coming in first for the third time running. Having said that, there haven't been any new releases in the past weeks, which does slightly diminish the title.

Players have been getting disgruntled with Sea of Thieves recently, due to the lack of end game content and general repetitiveness. Rare's executive producer, Joe Neate, came out with a response today regarding the game's future content.

It appears that Sea of Thieves devs aren't as worried about the apparent lack of content as they are with in-game mechanics. Rare's latest patch weighs in at 1.20GB and brings updates, balancing of weapons, ADS sensitivity fix and more.

With Sea of Thieves fans clamouring for more features for a while now, we've come across a neat list of bits players can expect to be added to their pirate adventure game. Events, pets, ship ownership and customization, to name but a few.

Despite Rare promising amounts of content on a previously unprecedented scale for them, players claim they have failed to fully show the game's potential. One player even reached the famed Legendary Pirate status, which is not an easy task.

Sea of Thieves hasn't had the smoothest of voyages since launch but Rare is setting a golden example in transparency. In the new Dev Update video, Rare announced a Sea of Thieves full game update, which fixes most issues plaguing the game.

Rare were planning to add a death tax in Sea of Thieves but it wasn't well received by players. The idea was to charge players for dying to sharks and skeletons, but not for PvP and the penalty size depended on how avoidable the death was.
