Beddall, who worked on the game for over two years, stated that " a lot of internal people voiced their concerns that the game was repetitive and shallo


All of the issues that are common and raised online in the forums, Discord, and Sea of Thieves Subreddit are things the developers are seeing and noting as well.

Finally, Rare briefly addressed the studio's plans for Sea of Thieves' post-launch content.

Not wasting anytime since the game really only released worldwide yesterday, Rare Studio Head Craig Duncan and Sea of Thieves Executive Producer Joe Neate got together and shot the above video from their offices to offer the first official Sea of Thieves "Developer Update." In it they explain that the game has 3-4 times more players than they had in their final and biggest stress test beta, and had over 1 million players logging in within the first 48 hours - up to more than 5000 players trying to match make per minute. These are numbers they just didn't expect which is a positive nod towards Microsoft's marketing efforts on their big exclusive and a potential indicator of the success of the Xbox Game P
