Sea Of Thieves hits Steam’s shores next monthShip shape
Ship shape
It’s been a long, arduous voyage through the storms of “being a Windows Store exclusive”, but finally,Sea Of Thievesis making landfall on Steam’s shores. Rare’s lovely little piracy sandbox will drop anchor on June 3rd, letting former Windows sailors carry their progress over to the new vessel with full cross-play between Steam, Windows and Xbox. With two years of updates under its belt, it’ll hopefully launch in a more ship-shape state that its maiden voyage way back when.

Sea Of Thieves, if you’re unfamiliar, is a proper brilliant little ocean sandbox. It’s not the deepest (hah!) game out there, but it’s a wonderful romp with the right friends - a luscious ocean packed witheerie wrecks,swashbuckling felines, and theoccasional flying galleon. Even if you’re not up for high sailing on the seven seas, there are enough gorgeous island vistas out there to prop upa whole community of nautical photographers.
It’s also got the best deep blue I’ve seen in a game to date, making for some remarkably chill voyages - assuming your fellow pirates play nice. They will not, in fact, play nice.
But my experience of Windows accounts in Steam games, namelyHalo: The Master Chief Collection, has been one of frustrating account-juggling and baffling inconsistencies between Steam and Windows. Naturally, YMMV.
But it’s a small frustration to pay for some of thebest highs seas antics you can find on PC. Sea Of Thieves launches onSteamon July 3rd for £35/€40/$40.
