While Phil Spencer wouldn’t say what they were at the time, we now know they’re Grounded, Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, and… Sea of Thieves! Interestingly, this will be the first time a Rare-developed game has ever appeared on PlayStation – obviously, the company has a long history with Nintendo and Microsoft, but the nature of their first-party situation means making games for Sony platforms was never in […]

Could Rare’s Sea of Thieves be setting sail to Sony and Nintendo platforms? In recent days, insider Nate the Hate got the rumor mill churning when he stated a “acclaimed” Xbox exclusive may make the jump to other platforms. Piggybacking on these rumors, on the most recent episode of Game Mess Mornings wanton leaker Jeff Grubb said Sea of Thieves was his first thought when talk of an Xbox game coming to other platforms surfaced, as he’s heard the game “could” come to Switch and PlayStation. "Sea of Thieves, right---I'll say I've heard that is one that might be coming […]
