Sea of Thieves devs discuss "surreal" PS5 launch and 2024's "year of the sandbox"


Sea of Thieves, you might have heard, is heading to PlayStation 5 next month. It's a significant moment for all sorts o…

It's a focus that's capped a long stretch of foundational updates for the almost six-year-old pirate adventure – bringing the likes of on-demand PvP, co-op-focused Guild progression, private servers, and a radical structural overhaul that's dramatically tightened the game's previously significant time demands – and the results, speaking from the perspective of a long-time player, have been hugely transformative. Even though we'd put such a wealth of content into the game, it's not at your fingertips; the economy got left behind; we had a lot of voyages that get you out on the waves and emergent gameplay that we hadn't touched since 2018… So Season 11 was kind of an end of an era for Sea of Thieves and a new start, by pushing all that up to the surface again. While Rare isn't quite ready to publicly talk specifics, the studio has confirmed it'll be giving players a big old tease of the year ahead – showcasing elements from not just Season 12, but 13 and 14 – as part of Sea of Thieves' sixth anniversary on 20th March.
