Sea of Thieves Executive Producer Joe Neate revealed Sea of Thieves has been played by more than 10 million players across Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One and Windows 10 PC, reinforcing its status as the most successful new IP for Xbox Game Studios this generation.
As Joe Neate stated:
“For everyone at Rare, the Sea of Thieves community represents the very best of what gaming can be. It’s home to players from more than eighty different countries, bringing together gamers on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One and Windows 10 PC and creating countless stories and moments that people can treasure. Seeing these stories shared through social media or other community spaces is something that inspires the team every day. To every person who’s played Sea of Thieves, thank you.”
On January 15th, Rare will release the latest free Sea of Thieves monthly update, titled ‘Legends of the Seas.’ The update will feature a celebration of the game’s community, and players can log-in between January 15 and 22 to claim a limited-edition custom sail and emote for free in commemoration of the 10 million player milestone.

Yawn.
good to know.
10 million people that have nothing better to do with their time.

By your point it would apply to any video game. The correct comments of yours should sound like this:
“!0 million people that plays this garbage have nothing better to play in their gaming sessions”
I really like to watch SoT – its more fun than Fortnite. Pace22 in new Ninja

I don’t have the spare bandwidth to be signing up to Microsoft’s schemes and scams when busy torrenting Epic Games Store content . ?
Damn right son. I’m glad you are down with the utorrent Greatest Hits. And the client has more features than Epic Client. All around win for the Homies 🙂
10 millions because of game pass.
If it was on steam it would have even more, for example my all friends want to play it but none of them want to buy it on a garbage windows store, they dont even want to deal with that sh@t.
Nothing like purposely misleading numbers to try and salvage anything positive from this epic grade disaster. “10 million active accounts throughout the history of the game”, would be more accurate of a statement.
It’s like SquareEnix claiming they have “16 MILLION PLAYERS!” in FF XIV, when it’s been snooped to discover, that they have more around ~1M concurrent subscribers.
All in all, when your only leg to stand on to boast about the success of your game, is “We have X many created accounts!”, when there is some sort of bundle of free trial? Your game bombed. End of story.
Meh it was minimum 1.5M concurrent subs at spring before the expansion came. That already was higher than WoW had. Oh, Classic came so it isnt
I played this game once when it came out and never played it since. I guess I’m part of the 10 million lol
Same here, I played for free for about 1/2 an hour, uninstalled and haven’t given it a thought since. Yet I am undoubtedly among the 10 mil.
It’s another way for Microsoft to use misleading numbers
Let me just emphasize on this.
Yeah, million of people are lining up to play sea of piss, sure.
