Best season yet imo. Getting quests from your own boat is a god send then you get teleported (via your boat diving under water which looks spectacular) to an island that your quest is based around, or, the first part if it's multi-tiered. Same with all the Tall Tales and Monkey Island stuff you get teleported to their start points.

Of course you have to sail to an outpost to cash in but if you have 20-30mins to spare you can get it all in and keep building up that trading company - also, there's been a huge increase in how much XP you gain in this update, 3 chests in the gold hoarders update had big gains in that trading companies XP wheel, it used to be barely noticeable. Also, while on an Island looking for treasure (with X marks the spot maps) I had to kill some skellies, ghosts and sea creature enemies and that also added to my coins and XP.

Sea of Thieves sets sail to PlayStation®5 on April 30th, opening our seas to more pirates than ever before! Learn about what this means directly from the Rare crew themselves.

Over 35 million players - https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/02/21/ ... aystation/

At least Sony players now have an actual good Pirate game!

Cross play between Xbox/PC (steam and windows) & PS5.

Possible G-ARRRR crew incoming?

Also, now that it has SAFER SEA'S it's a far easier game to navigate for noobs.

The Pirates of the Caribbean, Monkey Island & Tall Tales quests can all now be chosen from the opening menu screen.

There's so much content now that It will be baffling to new players but they have overhauled the UI to parse it all out.

I recall watching Pedz and Ben/Doom streaming this a few years back... it looked to be fun and I was mesmerised by the water effects!

Best 'online only' game I've ever played, feels like an offline game, the quests (tons of them now) are completely devoid of enemy players.

I still play on the High Sea's servers as I'm approaching Pirate legend levels and Safer Sea's get's you to level 40 in each discipline, and slower also. Most ships leave you alone.

Yeah, I'd like to give this a go. I recall Pedz, Ben and Matt getting up to all sorts of stuff... some of it was pretty funny . It seemed that PvP ship battles could be tough, though. I think I'd like to set out on the Safer Seas mode.

Well if you ever need a captain to guide you through the ropes I'm here.

Game also has a brand new tutorial which covers most things.

Brand new players who dare the High sea's will most likely try and fight, I'm hoping this is the case because I'm pretty decent now even on my own on THE RED PEARL!

I only ever managed to get a full crew of 4 together once, but it was great fun. Wasn't such a fan of it in solo, and even 2 player felt a bit of a step down.

Good game anyway.

Some really nice additions on the way!

I'm getting REAL close to Pirate Legend now, you need to be Level 50 in 3 of the trading companies.

I'm Level 48 in Gold Hoarders, Level 49 in Order of Souls and Level 46 in The Merchant Alliance. It was a double XP weekend so rinsed the Merchant Alliance mostly because it is the most cumbersome of the 3 but the Seafort's are great fun to play, even on my own I enjoy beating the waves and the mexican style music is amazing.

The update roadmap looks to be a huge boost for single players, spawning skellies to help you is amazing!

Digital Foundry have looked at the beta version of the game running on PlayStation 5, alongside a look at the game on Xbox Series and One X systems.

A written summary of the analysis is also available on Eurogamer.

I think that Sea of Thieves is one of the upcoming games that I'm most looking forward to.

I'm sooooooooooo close to being Pirate Legend.

now 50, 49, 49.

Once' they're done I'm gonna start doing the Tall Tales/Monkey Island/Pirates of the Caribbean stuff.

Are you picking it up on the 29th?

(I foresee a huge problem, it gets busy at the start of a new season but with PS5 owners joining Season 12 at the same time it could be a nightmare)

I won't be picking it up at launch, Phote - I'll give it a little while and see how the online is performing! I'd like to go out on the seas at some point, though :-).

Uh-oh. Purchasers of the £60 Premium Edition on PlayStation get to play the game from 10am. But... maintenance has been scheduled for 10am . The Sea of Thieves X/Twitter thinks that the game unlocks at 2pm but the PlayStation Store has a countdown saying it's now roughly 22 minutes away!
