So you want to be a pirate, eh? Well, what with today’s double whammy of a PlayStation 5 release and the launch of Season 12 – bringing with it, among other things, the first new weapons since 2018 – now seems as good a time as any to discover (or rediscover, if you’re a lapsed player) Rare’s swashbuckling multiplayer pirate game.
And to mark Sea of Thieves crossing the murky waters of console exclusivity toward new egalitarian horizons, it has come down to me – someone who has spent so many hours in Sea of Thieves over the last six years that I may as well be a real pirate at this point – to take you by the hook and guide you through these stranger tides.
This isn’t a guide, as such, so don’t go expecting all your piratical questions to be answered here; instead, it’s a more of a relaxed tour of some of Sea of Thieves niftier, lesser-remarked features – the stuff the game doesn’t really tell you about – that you might find useful and/or intriguing on your first few days inside the Devil’s Shroud. Here we go!
