Rare has released a new update for Sea of Thieves, bringing a host of fixes to the game as well as making PlayStation 5 Early Access available for players who pre-ordered the Premium Edition. Sea of Thieves is set to fully launch on PlayStation 5 on April 30, but those who fulfill this criteria have access to the game after this latest update.
The announcement that Sea of Thieves was coming to PlayStation 5 was met with surprise when Microsoft confirmed it in mid-February. It represented a change in strategy for the company, with one of its key console exclusives making its way over to Sony's platform. However, early signs indicate that the move will prove to be a success. The Sea of Thieves PlayStation pre-orders were performing incredibly well, and Closed Beta on PS5 caused server issues thanks to a high volume of new players. It will be interesting to see if Sea of Thieves can prove a success in the long run on PlayStation 5, prompting Microsoft to allow more exclusives to move over to the platform.
In an extensive list of patch notes posted to the Sea of Thieves website, the latest batch of changes were confirmed. Most notable is the start of Early Access for PlayStation 5 players who have pre-ordered the Premium Edition of the game. Now, gamers can hop in and start working their way through the massive Sea of Thieves PlayStation 5 trophy list at their own pace, with the patch notes featuring a section dedicated to several things that PS5 players should know as they play for the first time.
While the start of the PlayStation 5 Early Access period is certainly the highlight of the update, it isn't the only change worth mentioning. The Outpost shops in Sea of Thieves have received new items from the Seared Forsaken Ashes set, and previous rewards from the Wish You Were Here event have also been added to these stores. The in-game Report a Player tool now has a few more options, and improvements have been made to the Easy Anti-Cheat detection. All of this comes alongside a myriad of miscellaneous changes, making this a particularly large Sea of Thieves update.
The longevity of Sea of Thieves is extremely impressive. Upon its initial release in 2018, it was met with middling reviews from critics, resulting in a score of 69 on Metacritic. However, in the years since, Rare has continued to frequently update Sea of Thieves with new content updates, ensuring it never feels stale for returning players. As a result, it has become known as one of the best pirate games on the market. The most recent Sea of Thieves update was quite a substantial one, adding Easy Anti-Cheat into the game. Hopefully, the launch of the PS5 version represents a commitment to plenty more updates to Sea of Thieves in the future.
