    * Exotic islands. Hidden treasures. Riddles, battles and shanties. The essential pirate experience.
    Sea of Thieves is a new type of multiplayer game that delivers all you need to live the free-roaming pirate life. Whether adventuring as a group or sailing solo, you'll encounter other crews... but will they be friends or foes, and how will you respond?
    * Reputation is everything. Become a pirate legend!
    There are countless ways to make your mark on Sea of Thieves' stunning world. The more voyages and adventures you see through to the end, the greater your reputation becomes and the more opportunities unfold before you.

    * A WORLD OF EXPLORATION
    Venture out onto a vast, open ocean, uncovering new regions scattered with unspoiled islands and the sunken ships of less agile sailors. You're free to approach this world and its wealth of challenges however you choose. Sail for the sheer joy of discovery or undertake dramatic voyages, following maps and untangling riddles, learning to expect the unexpected...

    * A WORLD OF ACTION
    When parley is off the table, fight to protect your crew and your gold in ship-to-ship battles with cannon, pistol, blunderbuss and cutlass, pursuing rivals through raging storms. Sail in pursuit of deadly bounties, or ferry cargo through hostile waters. Clash with the skeletal remains of ancient reavers and beware marine menaces that lurk beneath the waves!

    * A WORLD OF TEAMWORK
    Sea of Thieves is as fun to watch and share as it is to play, bringing people together in a world that's exciting, fun and unpredictable. Whether you're questing with friends, testing the waters in a smaller ship or matchmaking to find a crew from the terrific community, great memories are easy to make in this world where every sail you see is another crew of real players.

    * A WORLD OF ENCOUNTERS
    This ocean realm is an intriguing blend of ancient and new: pirates from a bygone age, now little more than malignant bones, still guard the gold beneath its sands, even as fresh-faced adventurers set out to forge new legends. You'll cross paths with settlers too, plying their trades or looking to employ the skills of bold seafarers to further their own agendas.

    * A WORLD OF LEGENDS
    On your quest to become a pirate legend you'll amass loot and hard-earned rewards to adapt your appearance to your own liking. You'll climb the ranks and boost your reputation until other crews are awed to encounter you out at sea. The stories created through your deeds may even be reflected not just in your own surroundings, but in the wider world's lore.    … Expand

    It’s into this rich version of Sea of Thieves that the PlayStation 5 embarks – the latest in a series of Microsoft first-party titles coming to Sony’s machine. And what newcomers will find is an absolutely perfect translation of the current Xbox version, retaining the mannered visual splendour, with its stunningly authentic water physics, luminous sunsets and enticingly tropical islands. Experienced players will be able to quickly and seamlessly link to their Xbox accounts, while cross-play between the consoles and the PC is similarly painless. At the start of the game, you chose a boat (sloop, brigantine or galleon), invite friends from the list or select an open crew to play with strangers (Rare runs its own message boards to help players meet up and organise a voyage together), and you’re off.

    Sea of Thieves on PS5 is another great way to play a good multiplayer game. There’s a lot more content now than at launch, with tons of things to do either solo or with a crew. With cross-play and save, a wealth of convenience options, and even more coming down the pirate pipeline, this may be the perfect time to brave the Sea of Thieves.

    Not all treasures are made of gold and silver. Sea of Thieves lands on PlayStation 5, once again proving that this cooperative pirate adventure is the experience that many seek, but few find. It is not a perfect game, but its world and possibilities offer a journey that is as original as it is fun.

    The excellent PS5 adaptation of Sea of Thieves maintains its charm and extensive content, despite occasional bugs. It’s a great multiplayer adventure with cross-play, enhanced by DualSense features, but it requires long-term dedication and social interaction to fully enjoy.

    Sea of Thieves is a nice addition to the PlayStation's catalog of multiplayer games around the world. The game itself will benefit from an increase in the player base and more interest in Rare's multiplayer game. Despite never delving into any aspect of what it proposes and being an unpleasant single-player experience, the magic of cooperation and the freedom to enjoy the game without much commitment are the great attractions in a new world of piracy.

    Even after six years, Sea Of Thieves remains a great time with friends, and now, with the PlayStation 5 port, even more friends can join in the hilariously fun high sea adventures.

    One of the best live service games comes to PlayStation 5 and while the combat is still frustratingly flaccid the sense of camaraderie and exploration is second to none.
