When Sea of Thieves was announced several years ago, fans weren’t the most excited about it. The team at Rare was known for several great titles, but this new game was a pirate-themed game that would be about multiplayer experiences as much as single-player ones. That didn’t inspire confidence at first. However, once the game launched and Rare/Xbox put everything they had into it to show that it was fun, the title got much praise and a large fanbase. To the extent that the game is now about to celebrate its 5th anniversary, and Rare wants to celebrate in style!

“Featuring previously unseen footage and a candid look at the highs and lows of Sea of Thieves’ development and release, this honest and in-depth doc pulls back the curtain and shows the game’s evolution in the most detailed and raw way it’s ever been discussed,” said Christina Mcgrath, head of community and communications saidXbox Wire.
This kind of insight into a game is usually released long after it is gone, as that’s when people look at its “legacy” and whether it made the desired impact. However, with the game still alive, successful, and fun, the team wanted to showcase what they did to help make this happen. In other words, they want to take a victory lap, which is not a bad thing.
