Rare and Microsoft have announced that Sea of Thieves will be coming soon on Steam. Sea of Thieves came out last year on Windows Store and aims to offer the essential pirate experience, from sailing and fighting to exploring and looting.
Sea of Thieves on Steam will feature Adventure mode and the latest updates, The Arena for PvP multiplayer, Maiden Voyage for brand-new players and everything in between. Rare has also confirmed cross play will allow Xbox One, Windows 10 and Steam users to set sail together. As such, players will be able to assemble their perfect pirate crew, whatever their preferred platform. However, do note that the Steam version will require Windows 10, and will not work on Windows 8 or 7.
Sea of Thieves features an open world filled with unspoiled islands, sunken ships and mysterious artefacts. Players will take on quests to hunt for lost treasure, seek out cursed Skeleton Captains or gather valuable cargo for the Trading Companies. Moreover, they can go hunting and fishing or choose from hundreds of optional goals and side-quests.
Furthermore, gamers can play through the Tall Tales to experience Sea of Thieves’ take on a story-driven campaign. This mode features 11 tales to play through across two storylines, offering around 30 hours of pirate fantasy.
Stay tuned for more!

No, they don’t want to offer the pirate’s experience.
Another exclusive comes crawling to Steam. Pass.
I’m just laughing at the article’s banner image because it resembles the logo of the other ‘sea of thieves’ aka The Pirate Bay, haha!
i wish there were more cross play games with PS4 a lot of people I know have one.
this game does not exist on PS4…
I never said it did…
The MS Store is the worst experience I have ever had on a digital store. I bought 2 games there. Gears of War Ultimate and Gears of War 4. When downloading the DL box showed that I needed to download a certain amount to install and play. In both cases it just stopped about 20 GB less than what the download should have been. No problem. Just uninstall them using the control panel and download them again. Wrong, the games wouldn’t even show in the uninstall panel like every other game from any other service does.
MS didn’t even put launch icons on my desktop like every other service does. No problem. Go to the game folder and copy/paste the launch icons to my desktop. Wrong, MS has that folder locked down so tight that even with administrator privileges I couldn’t open the folder or view what was inside.
Fortunately I could move the launch icons to my desktop from the Start Menu.
I don’t know why they make it such a hassle to play the games they sell. It’s like they want to discourage customers from doing business with them. Well, they succeeded there. I won’t spend another nickle on games on the Windows Store again.
I had the exact same problem, i remember getting GoW 4 for 20 bucks, than when downloading the game reached 100% and restarted, happened 3 times, then a couple of weeks later the game was cracked, and played the campaign with cracked version…
I didn’t used the store since and never installed the game, and i’ll never buy gamepass for that reason
I’ve bought Gears 4 on the XBL at the time (it would unlock the Win10 version too), I never managed to download the 60+ GB (now 100+) through the Windows Store, it would either stop, restart from the beginning or take all of my bandwidth for doing nothing.
I’m glad that they released Gears 5 on Steam, never got any problem.
How does the Windows Store work exactly? Why is it that slow?
I had a Forza 7 installation stuck on one of my SSDs for months. Couldn’t delete it whatsoever. Contacted MS support and they told me they couldn’t solve it. Ended up having to reformat the drive just to get the space back.
can’t w8 for this.. awesome
