Today Microsoft and Rare announced that the popular open world online action game Sea of Thieves is coming to Steam.
At the moment, there is no specific release date besides a generic “coming soon.” That being said, the launch date should also be revealed “soon” (hopefully without the TM).
The listing page on Steam is already open. On top of that, we also learn that the Steam version will support cross-play both with Xbox One and with the version of the game on the Windows Store.
If you’re unfamiliar with Sea of Thieves, you can read an official description below directly from the Steam page.
