Sea Of Thieves
Sail across varied seas and hand-crafted islands, battling enemies and unearthing the secrets of those that came before. Rare gave us a first look at Sea of Thieves, their upcoming pirate-em-‘up for Xbox One and Windows 10 at the Microsoft E3 conference, with both a cinematic trailer and a first look at some gameplay. The goal of /r/Games is to provide a place for informative and interesting gaming content and discussions.
The freedom of pirate life awaits in Rare’s next adventurous voyage. Shown off as part of the Xbox Games Showcase Extended broadcast last night, the expansion will feature five new Tall Tales and see pirates interact with characters like Davy Jones and Captain Jack Sparrow himself. New locations across, below and beyond the Sea of Thieves are also promised during the story-focused additions.

However, I can't guarantee this type of game will be for you, since the only form of reward you'll get are cosmetics and the cartoony pirate experience. The game is def more fun to play with friends but there's loads of discord servers and Xbox LFG posts to find a crew if you don't. It's personally one of my favorite games I've ever played but that's only because I'm fine with having fun, possibly sinking, and not getting anything big from it at the end of the session. I'd say get it on Game Pass first to see if you like it ($1 for 3 months if you're new) or wait til the game drops to $20 if you plan to buy it anyways. Rare envisioned Sea of Thieves to be a "game as a service" and expected it to continue receiving updates for 10 years.
Additionally, Rare announced a special showcase for A Pirate's Life coming up this Sunday, June 20, where it provide a deep dive look at the expansion. This will feature developers from Rare talking about their work on the series, while people from Disney will appear as well to discuss how the partnership came to be in the first place. The event begins at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET on June 20; keep checking back with GameSpot for more.
