Sea of Thieves runder 1 million solgte på PlayStation 5

Ifølge kilder tæt på Windows Central, skulle Sea of Thieves, der udkom på PlayStation 5 for 4 måneder siden, have rundet 1 million solgte eksemplarer på Sonys platform. Spillet var det mest downloaded spil på PlayStation Store i både USA og Europa i maj måned, det var i top 5 i juni og top 10 i juli.

Last spring we launched four games, two of them on the Switch, four of them on PlayStation - and we said we were going to learn. I think at the Showcase I might have said that from our learning, we're going to do more.

Sea of Thieves var en af fire prøveballoner som Microsoft sendte til vejrs i foråret, som led i deres nye multiplatformstrategi, da de udgav fire spil på PlayStation 5 (Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded og Pentiment) og to på Nintendo Switch (Grounded og Pentiment).

Sea of Thieves udkom oprindeligt på Xbox og PC tilbage i 2018 og rundede 40 millioner spillere, inden det udkom på PlayStation 5 i slutningen af april.

It's definitely true inside of Microsoft that the bar is high for us in terms of the delivery that we have to give back to the company, because we get a level of support from the company that is just amazing in terms of what we're able to do.

So I look at this: how can we make our games as strong as possible, ensure that our platform continues to grow both on console, PC, and cloud, and I think it's just going to be a strategy that works for us.

- Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming

Microsoft fortsætter deres multiplatformstrategi, senest ved at annoncere, at årets blockbuster Indiana Jones and the Great Circle fra MachineGames kommer til PlayStation 5 i løbet af foråret, efter at være udgivet på Xbox og PC den 9. december i år.
