After suffering from a lack of content at launch, Rare's pirate simulator Sea of Thieves has since redeemed itself with regular updates following its 2018 release, becoming a consistently popular game. As a shared-world adventure, players can plunder, skirmish, and sail the seas alongside friends and strangers, creating their own stories and crafting their own encounters. Completing voyages and commanding ships from streamlined sloops to impressive galleons gave Sea of Thieves players a taste of the pirate life, and thanks to seasonal support and updates from the developers, the game has increased what it has to offer over time and kept players coming back.
