More than 40 million pirates have set sail on the Sea of Thieves! That's going to be quite the tavern tab...

As I'm sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I'm incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who've now set sail in Sea of Thieves!

40 million players across Xbox, Windows 10 and Steam is an amazing milestone to be able to talk about, and of course it wouldn't have happened without you – our brilliant, positive and welcoming community, who continue to surprise and impress us with your creativity and antics out on the waves.

Absolutely wild to think that the longest-lasting multiplayer title of the Xbox One era comes from Rare.  I know it's not ideal to give credit to GaaS, as an entity within the industry, but SoT was one of the few that acted so forward-thinking within its design.
