How many people would have seen this coming? It’s hard to have gauged that one of Microsoft’s best Xbox titles would be released on the PlayStation brand and become a bestseller to boot.
It’s a little reminiscent of when SEGA started dropping their titles on Nintendo platforms after years of rivalry. It’s something many wanted but never knew would actually happen, butSea of Thievesis officially coming to PlayStation consoles 30 April and preorders for the game are currently beating outElden Ring’s DLC,Shadow of the Erdtree.

While some players found the PvP aspects a little toxic and unfair, it stayed a success due to its engaging replayability. In the most recent season, however, the option was finally given to players to eschew the PvP and focus solely on PvE and treasure hunting.
The upcoming release of the premium edition of the game is sitting among the top preorders forPlayStationplayers, beating out several games. It comes to PlayStation among several titles that Microsoft is breaking out from their exclusivity which also includesHi-Fi RushandGrounded.
It’s a bold strategy fromMicrosoftand could pave the way for bigger exclusives to jump from their home console over to rivals. In an age where revenue is harder to grasp without storming into live service, it’s a smart move that seems to be paying off, given the excitement and preorders. I wonder what game Microsoft will gamble with next.
