Since the release of the final version of Sea of Thieves, there has been an unfair attempt to discredit the new video game, despite all this, Sea of Thieves has been a success and is already the most successful new IP Microsoft in this generation.
Sea of Thieves becomes the most successful new Microsoft IP of this generation
Microsoft has announced that Sea of Thieves has sold more than two million copies since its launch, and this figure includes only games marketed as such, as downloads via the Xbox Game Pass have not been counted. It has also been mentioned that Windows 10 has been the most successful platform for the game, over and above Xbox One X.
Rare CEO Craig Duncan has said that Sea of Thieves has become the fastest selling first-party game in this generation, which means that the game’s popularity has been far superior to that of other games such as Sunset Overdrive, ReCore, and Quantum Break. That is an impressive fact, as the game is offered with the Xbox Game Pass, which has a monthly fee of only 10 Euros, which means that a lot of players have been able to access it without having to pay extra.
Sea of Thieves is the first of many exclusive Microsoft games for 2018, with State of Decay 2 and Crackdown 3 coming later this year. Microsoft is also likely to unveil other new titles at this year’s E3, including the upcoming delivery of the Halo franchise, Xbox’s flagship.
