The last game I expected to find a speedrunning community for was Sea Of Thieves. I mean, there’s a racing community, sure, but you wouldn’t think Rare’s online pirate sandbox would really lend itself to the quick and precise play speedruns are known for. And yet, here we have the Sea Of Speed – a small group of players who frequently race through various Sea Of Thieves quests, competing to get the fastest possible times. Though, you probably won’t see them at Summer Games Done Quick this week.
“I doubt very many speedrunners outside our community know we exist,” Sea Of Speed’s chief mod, Toastiewaffles, tells me. “Usually people just go, ‘how do you even speedrun that game?'”
