Xbox players might not be happy about Sea of Thieves coming to PS5, but PlayStation fans certainly are.
At the time of writing, if you head to the PlayStation Store and check out PS5 pre-orders, and sort by best selling, you won’t find Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree at the top, or even Dragon’s Dogma 2, but the soon to no longer be Xbox exclusive Sea of Thieves. Very specifically, it’s the premium edition of the game sitting at the top spot, which gives you the game of course, as well as closed beta access ahead of launch, alongside a bunch of other goodies. The standard edition isn’t doing too bad for itself either in fourth place on the pre-order charts, and the deluxe edition, which is cheaper than premium but more expensive than the standard, is in the 10th spot too.
Quite clearly, PlayStation fans want in on Xbox titles. It definitely makes sense for a title like Sea of Thieves, given that it’s an online only game. There’s sure to be plenty of PS5 players that would love to play with their friends on Xbox, and thanks to the fact the game will have cross-play across both platforms and PC, they’ll soon be able to.

It’s definitely interesting to see Sea of Thieves climbing the pre-order charts on the PlayStation Store! The idea of cross-play between Xbox and PS5 players opens up a whole new world of multiplayer possibilities. I wonder how this will impact the gaming community as a whole, especially for those who enjoy playing with friends across different platforms. Exciting times ahead for sure!
