Sea of Thieves has reportedly sold 1 million copies on PS5

Sea of Thieves marked one of the first Xbox exclusive games to come to PS5 as part of the company’s recent multi-platform pivot. So far, it seems as though this shift in strategy is paying off, as Sea of Thieves has reportedly sold over a million copies on PS5 since its launch a few months ago.

Sea of Thieves arrived on PS5 in late April 2024, seeing a strong reception from Sony players – with the title reaching the top spot on the PSN Store in May.

While no official sales figures have been shared, according to Windows Central, trusted sources have indicated to the publication that “Sea of Thieves has crossed a million sales on PlayStation since its launch over there, and is most likely higher still since this information came to me.”

With Microsoft focusing on Game Pass for many years now, we don’t actually have official sales figures for Sea of Thieves on other platforms (though it was revealed to have been played by over 40 million people). That said, 1 million copies for a game which is now over 6 years old is certainly an achievement – and is likely why Microsoft is choosing to bring more Xbox games over.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
