Major Xbox exclusive headed to PlayStation, and fans are divided

If there’s one way to set the video gaming cats among the pigeons, it’s the news that a console exclusive may be heading to said console’s rival. Although we’re taught to share, that sentiment doesn’t always translate well in the gaming community.

Seas of Thieves, arguably one ofXbox’s biggest exclusives in recent years (sorry,Starfield) is reportedly coming to PlayStation.

Such news is dividing fans, as of course, it would do, because the idea that exclusives are becoming a thing of the past is a little too scary for some gamers. Yet, given how wholesome this game can be, isn’t it only fair that everyone gets a slice of that seafaring pie?

“An awesome game to bond over,” reviewed one gamer in reference to playingSea of Thieveswith his son. “And a great way to talk about how to not be a jerk online, how to deal with disappointment, how to work as a team when you make alliances, and how to be a gracious winner.”

If Xbox was to make this move, it isn’t the first time one of its franchises has crossed over onto other platforms, as we’ve also seenOrirelease on theSwitch, andMinecraftacross multiple devices.

However, when Xbox was probed about the potential forSea of Thievesto be released on the PS, it declined to comment on the matter. Some may call that suspicious, others may assume the brand is just tired of our speculative bullsh*t.

Nonetheless, when a game allows you to lock up your drunken friend after a night out with the lads pillaging the high seas, it feels only fair that all gamers can experience such satisfaction.
