Sea of Thieves has reportedly sold over one million units on the PlayStation 5, according to "trusted sources" that spoke with Windows Central.
The report claims the game hit the milestone a while ago and it has likely sold much more than that at this point. The game sells for $40 on the PlayStation 5 and one million units sold means at $40 million in revenue generated. This isn't including in-app purchases.
Sea of Thieves did top the PlayStation Store download charts for May 2024 in the US and Canada, as well as in Europe. In June, the game was fourth in the US and Canada, and third in Europe. The game remained in the top 10 in July.
Rare in April of this year announced Sea of Thieves had surpassed 40 million players across the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store.
Sea of Thieves released for the Xbox One and PC in March 2018, and for the Xbox Series X|S in November 2020. It will also launch for the PlayStation 5 on April 30.

I was hoping it would sell well so that MS realises that it's much better for their studios when they're not competing with PS
They still compete, they are literally competing for the same customer by doing this.
I said competing with PS, not PS customers.
Explain competing? Because when you release your games on another platform, those games are competing for the same wallet customers.
Didn't know it was made by RARE. Makes sense, my son loved it on his Xbox years ago. Must of put 1,000s of hours into it with his friends.
Glad this one did well.
Yes, RARE deserves to have success with this, it is a special game.
Just rip the band-aid off MS and start releasing everything on PS5.
Halo MCC and Gears Collection would do extremely well.
They do make amazing games
If they can make a fortune giving Playstation old games, I don't see the issue. It can fund future exclusives on Xbox.
Congrats was expecting higher sales though haha
1 Million actually seems a bit low compared to the ridiculous amount of port begging I've been seeing on X.
Good game though. By far RAREs most successful game ever.
That's because people don't really care about playingbuying the game they just want more fodder for the console war.
microsoft investing in the no console future!
$40 for a bit of fun, it is not for me but better than this $70 nonsense.
It's only 40$ because it's 6 years old. 70$ is not nonsense it's just an economic reality as games are extremely expensive to develop now. GTA6 is rumoured to have cost 2 billion so far
There is absolutely no way that GTA6 has cost 2 billion so far that would be over five times more expensive than the most expensive movie ever made and most movies cost way more to make than most video games even the ones that do not make it to theaters.
