It was only in January of this year when we shared that 10 million people had played the game! We\u2019re also humbled that more people have played Sea of Thieves in the first six months of 2020 than who played in the whole of 2019, which was more than 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Last month \u2013 June 2020 \u2013 was also the biggest month so far for <em>Sea of Thieves<\/em> in terms of active players, with more than 3.3M players setting sail. A contributing factor to this growth has been our recent launch on Steam. We\u2019ve been blown away by the support we\u2019ve seen from the Steam community, with over 1M copies of the game having been sold so far and the game regularly appearing in the top selling and most played games charts.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of all of us at Rare, I\u2019d like to say a big thank you to everyone who\u2019s ever played <em>Sea of Thieves<\/em> for helping to get us this far. It\u2019s a game that we love making, and there\u2019s plenty more to come. See you on the seas.<\/p>\n<p>New to&nbsp;<em>Sea of Thieves<\/em>?
