Concurrent Player Count Has Steadily Grown for Sea of Thieves on Steam

Microsoft has started to open up with the idea of bringing some of its first part titles to other platforms. We have already seen a couple make their way to the Switch and/or Steam with the most recent game beingSea of Thieves. Looks like it has been the right call because the game has seen a growth in concurrent player count since the game hit the PC storefront.PerSea of Thieves growth continues to be INCREDIBLY impressiveConcurrent player peak the last 7 days on SteamJune 7th - 41,110June 8th - 41,949June 9th - 46,204June 10th - 50,450June 11th - 51,980June 12th - 55,244June 13th - 59,404HUGE success for Rare and MS / Xboxpic.twitter.com/RrZKLSbBEW— Benji-Sales (@BenjiSales)August 03, 2025" target="_blank" rel=“noopener noreferrer”>Beinji-Sales, during the last 7 days, the player count for Sea of Thieves on Steam has increased by almost 20,000 players. To be more specific, it has increased from 41,110 on June 7th (four days since it released on the platform) to 59,404 on June 13th. You can look at the specific numbers in the attached tweet below.

The move has seemed like the right one for Microsoft. Just like we have seen withSea of Thievesabove, the slow drip ofHalogames on Steam has also been quite the success as well. The game has sold over2 million copiesjust on Steam. That number has likely increased since that was reported back in December.

While some might not like the move and want their exclusive games to remain exclusive to one console. Those sales wouldn’t have existed ifHalodidn’t come to Steam. I think Microsoft would rather sell more copies of the game now on both PC and Xbox One rather than restricting it to one location.

Sea of Thievesis currently available for Xbox One and PC. The game is also available on Xbox Game Pass.
