Sea Of Thieves, the popular pirate-themed game, is making its way to the PlayStation 5 console. This is just one of many Xbox exclusives that are rumored to be heading to other platforms, signaling a shift in Microsoft's strategy that seems to be paying off.
The announcement that Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, a highly anticipated game, will be released on PS5 next year only a few months after its Xbox Series X/S and PC launch, is a clear indication of Microsoft's commitment to multiplatform releases. This move follows the successful launch of four Xbox games on PS5 and Switch in 2024, including Sea Of Thieves, Grounded, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush.
While there are no official sales figures for these titles on other platforms, sources suggest that Sea Of Thieves has performed exceptionally well on the PS5. According to reports, the game has already sold over one million copies since its release in late April, and this number is expected to be even higher now. This is a significant achievement, considering the game was originally released on the Xbox One in 2018. When it was launched on Steam in 2020, it sold over one million copies in just two months. To reach a similar milestone on the PS5 within just a few months is impressive.
Although these sales numbers are not official, there are many indicators that Sea Of Thieves has been a success on the PS5. In May, it was the most downloaded game in Europe, and Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty has expressed his satisfaction with the game's sales on the console.
Sea Of Thieves is a shining example of Microsoft's multiplatform strategy, according to Phil Spencer, the head of gaming at Microsoft. He recently stated that this approach is a viable strategy for the company, as evidenced by the decision to release Indiana Jones And The Great Circle on the PS5. While only two upcoming games, Indiana Jones and Doom: The Dark Ages, have been confirmed for release on other platforms, it is highly likely that more will follow based on the success of Sea Of Thieves.
Microsoft is taking a bold step towards multiplatform releases, and with the positive response to Sea Of Thieves on the PS5, it seems that this strategy is paying off. Fans can look forward to more exciting Xbox games making their way to other platforms in the future.
