Sea Of Thieves

Although we already know all there is to know about Rare's new swashbucklin' adventure, we couldn't let the last weekend before Sea of Thieves pass without it, even if it is only the launch trailer, which teases the Kraken. Nothing special.

With the release of Sea of Thieves just around the corner, Rare decided to refresh everyone's memory on what their swashbuckling pirate adventure has got in store, as well as remind them of cross compatibility between Xbox One and PCs.

Rare's upcoming swashbuckling adventure Sea of Thieves has left the door open for all who want to take this Microsoft exclusive out for a spin. The offer is live as we speak and you may want to hurry, because it lasts only a few days.

Sea of Thieves is slated for launch on 20 March 2018, but the game is back for another round of stress testing. Rare also announced a proper beta before launch so if you're looking for some fun gaming, you may want to skip this test.

Rare's swashbuckling adventure Sea of Thieves is in the final stretch running up to the 20 March 2017 launch, and the devs are making sure to keep them tidbits coming so as to keep us hungry and coming back for more.

Rare's design director Mike Chapman went on record talking about biomes, the dynamic world of Sea of Thieves, griefing and more. We must admit that the way of thinking the company seems to have adopted is pretty refreshing, as it leans towards the qualitative side of the fence.

Rare's design director Mike Chapman has revealed that Sea of Thieves will have "tons of customisation at launch" and that even though the company will eventually introduce microtransactions, they're not the priority here. He also talked about the game's intentions on removing barriers between players and more.

Rare are putting their backs into Sea of Thieves optimization as the system requirements for PC are well below the current standards. It can run on GPUs from 2013. No kidding.

Alright, we’ll spare you the cheesy ahoy-matey attempts at setting the tone and skip to the meat - Sea of Thieves closed beta has ended with a total of 332,052 players. Although a seemingly unimpressive figure at first, the fact that it’s a closed beta of a Microsoft exclusive title puts a really positive spin on it.

With the official launch slated for March 2018, Rare’s swashbuckling action-adventure is making big strides towards the date as the company announced the closed beta for January 24. To make sure that the game is noticed by world plus dog, Microsoft is making as much noise as possible and even launched a special Sea of Thieves controller.
