"Sea of Thieves, right---I'll say I've heard that is one that might be coming to other platforms. When I first started hearing these rumors, I was like, 'Oh this is probably about Sea of Thieves, because I've heard that could come to Switch and PlayStation.' And maybe that might be the kind of thing where like, actually all of this stuff is happening, and Microsoft is kind of trying to rejigger its strategy."

Additional reporting coming via STEPHEN TOTILO:


Microsoft has looked into launching its hit Xbox and PC multiplayer pirate game Sea of Thieves on PlayStation, a source familiar with plans for the port tells Game File. While Microsoft has released some of its first-party published games on rival platforms before, this would be the first time the company ports one of its marquee Xbox/PC games to its most direct competitor, Sony. Microsoft previously released two externally developed games in the Ori series on Nintendo’s Switch some time after their original release on Xbox and PC. And the company regularly releases games in its Minecraft franchise simultaneously across Xbox, PC, PlayStation and Switch.

at this point i don't doubt they'll port Halo and Gears, specially Halo Infinite due to the live service aspect of it

in every other context the live service aspect biases toward releasing on every possible platform. even deeply degrading the game to run on mobile.

It makes sense lol. Xbox players aren't buying games; they aren't playing them either.


The game came out in January 2023 and it was already a huge flop so in December 2023 no one was expecting it to chart lol

He's gonna get so much hate for that.

I don't think there's one game on Xbox i Would be happy if they port because I want to play it. Halo mp is mediocre to me, Gears is OK but stuck in time and very restricted, I'd rather run around in Uncharted mp. Sea of Thieves eww who cares. HiFi no one even really cared. Idk none of this matters to me except tht it'll speed up them going third party.

I think the best thing to come from MS going 3rd party will be that devs can then focus on PS5 and PC (eventually).

Not excited for the MS 1st party games at all - I mean I loved HALO and Gears during the 360 era, but those times are long gone.
