Sea of Thieves
10 Games That Smashed 1 Million Sales in 2018
Pirate games are still a big niche in the gaming scene, so Microsoft and Rare decided to team up and start an ambitious project known as Sea of Thieves. This seafaring exploration game takes you and your friends across the vast ocean as you sail with the hopes of finding treasure and striking it rich. While the game might have turned out differently than what some initially expected, Sea of Thieves has managed to gain a large following.
Evidently enough, the game garnered two million players during its first week after launch. While some might be quick to point out that this may hev been due to its inclusion as part of Microsoft’s Game Pass service, Aaron Greenberg has mentioned that these numbers don’t include the exclusive service. Since last month, Microsoft has revealed that the game now sits with a 5 million player base, coming from both the PC and Xbox One. Although the company hasn’t revealed the total number of units sold, it’s pretty obvious that Sea of Thieves managed to smash the 1 million sales mark.
