Xbox and Rare have confirmed that Sea of Thieves is coming to PS5 on April 30, and will feature full cross-play across Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
The news was confirmed in anXbox Wire post, which additionally revealed thatHi-Fi Rush is indeed coming to PS5as well. The blog also confirmed thatGrounded and Pentiment, which were announced for Switchas part of today’sNintendo Partner Direct, will be coming to PS4 and PS5 too.
“This is the first time in Rare’s nearly 40-year history that we’ve shipped a game on a PlayStation platform,” associate design director Shelley Preston notes in a dev video accompanying the announcement, “and that is cause for celebration for both Rare as a studio and Sea of Thieves.”
That’s about it as far as details on the game’s PS5 release, but honestly, what else is there to say? With full cross-play, Sea of Thieves is opening up to a whole new audience and expanding its playerbase at the same time, which seems like a win-win for an online game entering its seventh year.
That rounds out the list of thefour multiplatform Xbox games Phil Spencer teased last week, and they’repretty much exactly what we expected. Spencer was explicit that games likeStarfieldorIndiana Jones and the Great Circlewould not be hopping platforms for now, and it seems this collection of four has set the tone for what we can expect from Xbox games on Nintendo and PlayStation platforms.
Here’s hoping the new PS5 crowd have a better time than whenSea of Thieves' rarest item met its most unlucky player.
