Over 25 million folks have performed Sea of Thieves. The pirate ship fantasy sim has a few of the most stunning water you’ve ever seen in a online game. And now Uncommon’s live-service multiplayer sport is lastly getting a approach for folks to play solo. A brand new mode known as Safer Seas will let gamers discover in non-public classes with out the specter of PvP beginning in December.
