Xbox exclusive games were made available for PlayStation 5 a while ago. Microsoft’s cross-platform expansion policy seems to have worked. Sea of Thieves, the pirate game exclusive to Xbox, was released last month. PlayStation 5’s best-selling game happened.
Sea of Thieves is the best-selling game of PlayStation 5
Sea of Thieves topped the PlayStation 5 chart in both the US and Europe during May sales. The pirate-themed game, which debuted on PlayStation earlier this year, rose to number one on the rival console’s sales charts for the first time.
Sea of Thieves, which was first released in 2018, was an Xbox and PC exclusive game. However, Microsoft announced that it will bring first-party games to PlayStation 5 to make them more popular. This cross-platform expansion seems to have paid off for Sea of Thieves.
Not only did the pirate-themed game find a new audience on PS5, it also had a significant performance, coming first in sales. It is also known that even if it is a third-party game, Microsoft will get a share of sales on PlayStation platforms.
