PlayStation, ahoy - How Rare’s pirate adventure Sea of Thieves set sail for a new platform

Six years since its voyage began, the oceanic co-op is landing on PS5 – and the team behind the game can’t wait to empower the creativity of a whole new community of players.

Reading it's obvious this has been in the planning stages for at least a year. Good read. Glad they are super excited. I like this part...

- Rare is also planning to introduce an offline solo mode with the March update. “You won’t need Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus,” says Neate. “If you just want to come and play on your own, you’ll get to play Safer Seas as a solo player so you can experience all of the Tall Tales content and all of the progression through the companies. It’s another way to fall in love with the game before thinking ‘maybe I wanna go get that subscription and start playing multiplayer’.”

That will get a lot of people who prefer to play Solo on board to start with. Including myself. I read this and my ears perked up. Now I'm interested in Sea Of Thieves. I'm going to support their game on Playstation. I've alreday bought Hifi Rush and I plan on buying Grounded as well. As long as MS keeps sending games to playstation, then I'll support those games. The best place to play is Playstation

It’s actually good to see that they know people are attached to PlayStation for the single player games..
so this also means no Microsoft profile login required?

If you're only going to play the game alone in safer seas, you're missing most of what the game is about. You also level up a fraction as fast in safe seas. I guess if you just want to play tall tales alone though it's fine.

I guess you got downvoted bc N4G?

Thanks for saving me a click. Now, I'm interested.

Pre ordered

I returned to Sea of Thieves recently (I preordered at launch) and the issues then is still the issue now. You will face the same Skeleton enemies over and over with little variety to the enemies types, gameplay mechanics, or missions. Once you've played a couple weeks of the grind that is this game, you will most likely have experienced everything it has to offer with little reason to continue leveling up. The islands don't change and the gameplay never gets better than swing basic sword, block, shoot bullet with no upgrades.
