    Beautiful game but you need a lot of online friends to play. Definitely not a single player game

      Ahoy there!

      While it's definitely possible to play Sea of Thieves solo, we agree that you'll have the best experience with a group of mateys. You probably have a pretty good crew to set sail with, but there are other options for finding some extra hands in those cases where you would otherwise be going solo. There is, of course, the in-game matchmaking system, but other options would be Xbox Clubs and the Looking for Group feature available on Xbox and in the Xbox App!

    While quest variety is limited, what they do execute on is fantastic. Never had i thought trimming the sails could be so rewarding.

    Lack of Content Hurts a Good Concept

    Sea of Thieves is severely lacking in things to do. It's unfortunate because the gameplay systems here are solid and the graphics are among the best on this generation of consoles - the water effects in particular are stunning. But the quests are dull and the combat is very basic. Strongly suggest a rental before fully diving in.

      Hey there,

      We're sorry to hear that a pirate's life isn't for you yet in Sea of Thieves. The developers are working hard to implement new features and content, such as the recently launched The Hungering Deep content update. For more information on what's headed your way, go here: https://www.seaofthieves.com/news/sea-of-thieves-content-plans

      Hope that helps,

    I grind games for achievements. At this time the developers disabled the ability to earn achievements. For this reason, the game is useless to me. It's incredibly repetitive. You literally do the same thing a million times over and over again. It gets incredibly boring.

      Ahoy there,

      We're sorry that, in order to make necessary fixes, the developers have had to temporarily disable the awarding of achievements. Rest assured, this won't be permanent, and Rare says that it hopes to deliver delayed achievements and turn achievements back on by the end of this week.

    The game is fun and was really good, initially. Don't know if things have changed since I gave up - about a year ago. I know this is a game about pirates but, you run into lots of players who act like they want to play together and then kill you and steal everything. Don't waste your money.
