Sea of Thieves, the action-adventure pirate game from Rare and Microsoft Studios, is the #1 best-selling pre-order on PlayStation Network in the U.S. despite having been released years ago, in 2018, according to a tweet that the Benji-Sales account shared yesterday. The news follows Microsoft’s announcement from February about how four fan-favorite Xbox games, including Grounded, Hi-Fi RUSH, Pentiment, and Sea of Thieves, would be coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation platforms following their years of exclusivity on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs.
