Preorder numbers suggest Xbox’s Sea of Thieves will be a huge hit on PlayStation

Earlier this week, Microsoft broke one of its longest-standing personal trends in gaming, making several of its exclusive Xbox titles available to preorder on PlayStation 5.

Those games include Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves, among others, but it should come as no surprise that Sea of Thieves is leading the way as the most-preordered game of not just Xbox’s new wave of transitional, soon-to-be-cross-platform titles, but the entire PlayStation Store, according to a report from Windows Central. Just a little under a week since coming to the PS Store, Sea of Thieves, which releases for PS5 on April 30, has taken the top spot as the most-preordered game, surpassing upcoming games like MLB The Show 24 and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
