Microsoft announced earlier in the year that Sea of Thieves would be one of several first-party Xbox titles getting multiplatform releases in the next couple of months. Shortly after pre-orders for Rare’s multiplayer pirate title went live, it’s proving quite popular with the PlayStation audience, with the game climbing high on PSN’s pre-order charts.
As caught by Benji-Sales on Twitter, shortly after pre-orders became available, Sea of Thieves shot straight to the top of the pre-order charts for PS5 titles on PlayStation Network in the US. At the time of writing, the game’s Premium Edition is sitting in third place, behind the Deluxe Editions of MLB 24 The Show and Dragon’s Dogma 2, while its Standard Edition is sitting in seventh place, and its Deluxe Edition in fifteenth place.
In the UK, meanwhile, Sea of Thieves is performing even better, with its Premium Edition sitting on top of the charts, its Standard Edition in fourth place, and its Deluxe Edition in tenth place.
Sea of Thieves is set to launch for PS5 on April 30. It’s currently available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.

It’s a $129.99 wireless guitar controller that’s coming to shelves in April for both PlayStation and Xbox consoles (either guitar is compatible with PC, to boot, and ships with a USB-A wireless transceiver).
