Just as Sea of Thieves is about to launch on PS5, the game reached a historic milestone of 40 million players, ensuring the seas are filled with excitement and ready to greet new pirates setting sail.

In a blog post on April 17, Sea of Thieves executive producer Joe Neate celebrated this phenomenal achievement. “40 million players across Xbox, Windows 10 and Steam is an amazing milestone to be able to talk about, and of course it wouldn’t have happened without you—our brilliant, positive and welcoming community, who continue to surprise and impress us with your creativity and antics out on the waves,” the post says.
