Earlier this year, Xbox announced that four of their games would be coming to Nintendo and Sony consoles in 2024. One of those games was the multiplayer pirate game Sea of Thieves, which already boasts an incredibly large player base since it released back in 2018.
The game was re-released on April 30 for the PlayStation 5, and since then has proven to be a big hit with that console’s player base as well. The PlayStation Blog posted the most downloaded titles of May 2024, and at the top of both the U.S./Canada and EU charts for PS5 games was Sea of Thieves. An impressive feat, considering it beat out some massively popular titles like Grand Theft Auto V, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and Helldivers 2.
