Sea of Thieves’ arrival on PS5 is a significant event as it marks the first time a Rare game is releasing on a PlayStation platform. The game is set to launch on April 30, and potential players are faced with the decision of which edition to choose.
There are three editions available, each offering different content at varying prices. The Standard Edition is priced at $39.99 and includes all the updates and additions made during Sea of Thieves’ six-year run.
Players also receive a digital soundtrack, audiobook, and ebook from the Sea of Thieves website after logging in. The Deluxe Edition, priced at $49.99, offers additional weapons, cosmetic items, and 10,000 gold in-game.
For an additional $10, players can opt for the Premium Edition, which includes Season 12’s Plunder Pass, a Premium Bundle, and five days of early access. All three editions will be available upon the game’s launch, and those who pre-order will receive a hoard of cosmetic items as a bonus.
Sea of Thieves is an online multiplayer title where players become pirates, navigating the open seas, completing missions, and engaging in battles for maritime dominance. The game’s arrival on PS5 is highly anticipated, with a significant community expected to join upon release.
For players looking to engage in cross-platform play, Sea of Thieves on PS5 will support cross-play with other platforms such as Xbox, provided players link their Microsoft account. While other pirate-themed games like Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag and Skull And Bones are available on PlayStation, they offer a different experience compared to Sea of Thieves.
The game is currently available on Xbox and PC and is set to launch on PS5 on April 30. Players who pre-ordered the Premium Edition gained early access to the game on April 25.
