While Sea of Thieves will mark the first time ever a Rare developed game will launch on a PlayStation console Rare themselves aren’t handling the PS5 port of the game.

It’s actually being handled by independent developers Third Kind Games.

They have worked on titles such as Forza Horizon 4, Hearthstone and the upcoming Fable game by Playground Games.

Hopefully Sea of Thieves will transfer well to PS5 and will likely also mark the first appearance of Halo’s Master Chief on PlayStation as there are Halo and many other Xbox IP themed cosmetics available in the game.

Let’s just hope that they don’t make the same mistake Obsidian has with the platinum trophy for Pentiment and forget to give it a name with the trophy using the placeholder [PlatinumTrophy] title at the moment.
