Smooth Sailing for Xbox Exclusive Sea of Thieves as It Tops PS5 Pre-Order Charts
Looks like Microsoft’s decision to port live service Xbox exclusive Sea of Thieves to PS5 is gaining traction. The Rare sailing escapade is currently dominating the PS Store’s pre-order charts, surpassing heavyweight titles like Dragon’s Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin, and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
Porting Success with Crossplay Enabled
The decision to bring Sea of Thieves to PS5 is expected to give the game a significant boost in longevity. With crossplay enabled, the positive impact of the port on PC and Xbox players is also anticipated. It will be intriguing to witness the game’s popularity on the PlayStation platform, as well as observe the performance of other planned ports like Grounded and Hi-Fi Rush.
Xbox has hinted at the possibility of future title conversions to PlayStation. It remains to be seen whether popular titles like Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and perhaps even Halo Infinite would generate similarly strong pre-order numbers. Microsoft’s strategic approach will determine the extent of their future porting endeavors.
