About The Game: Sea of Thieves is a pirate-themed action-adventure multiplayer game developed by Rare and published by Xbox Game Studios. Players take on the role of pirates, sailing the seas, exploring islands, and battling other players and mythical creatures. The game features a shared open-world environment and is optimized for cooperative gameplay, with players able to form pirate crews and embark on voyages together. The game offers a unique blend of exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving, allowing players to create their own pirate legends as they journey through the seas.

When I was a swabby, there was only 1 of 4 things you could do in the game.
1. Gold voyage
2. Skelly voyage
3. Merchant voyage
4. Skelly forts
(5. Pirate legend voyage which was a combo of the first 3)
Well said. In May I'll be spending a lot of time helping swabbies figure this game out. And I won't be betraying them for a laugh at the end, pirate or not. The more they enjoy the game, the more they'll come back, and the more they come back, the longer this game will last.
Glad I won't be the only one!
Love this mindset!
Im gonna be grinding hourglass 😈
I Hope i find people like you captain
U are a legend my friend..From behalf off all the new players on ps5 that have never played the game like myself
We salute u sir!!
I hope this game will be fun can’t wait to play
Clever business move.
To boost regular play figures you:
1. Launch Safer Seas Sandbox
2. Introduce Guilds & Diving
3. Expand to “other” consoles
4. Achieve personal corporate bonus/treasure and retire to Snake Island
Having more players/ships on servers will, per the management consultants presentation to leadership, likely result in dedicated players pressuring their friends to “try” the game - ie. Mate, join this awesome game but first focus on the bucketing and repair commendations until you’re pirate legend 😂
Seriously though, the more the merrier. I met a new player yesterday on open crew and it was hilarious, and fun, until his wife yelled at him for being late for dinner.
I agree, with this is going to next gen consoles (PS5), we expect next gen features. plus the guilds will help with the community and they should introduce text chat via area, entire sea, group, and guild
when i saw the release for this game i was beyond excited, then was pretty let down to see that it wasn’t coming to PlayStation. Im glad i get to re-live the hype knowing ill finally be able to enjoy SoT
Ramshaklebolt if you wanna sail g
Welcome Back Jon! Great to see you making a return to the platform! Loved the vid btw!
Thanks for the vid man I’m so glad that you’re starting to feel better!
I’m a different note what visual setting do you use in sot because they look amazing
I honestly think this so going to be great. Being able to always have new faces in the seas is great. Not to mention that the previous updates over the past year have all been great quality of life for accessibility to new players.
AND the new updates that are upcoming are essentially another golden age for Sea of thieves.
It’s honestly great marketing from Microsoft and Rare. More sales will also lead to more allocated budget for Rare, which will help Sea of Thieves grow even more. Or maybe even have a new title come out.
Sea Of Thieves in space pls?
Hey Jon I was wondering if you could bring back the old channel? I just wanted to revisit some old school J2Jon videos if that's ok, especially the first channel. I do watch your videos here too just miss some of the older ones
I find it just a bit funny that this was going to be an April fools video and then it happened. Glad to see you back jon
I need a shirt that says "Congratulations, I played myself."
I will be doing the same. Don't chase away new players
Welcome back Jon! It’s nice to see that you are well enough to post again
Been playing SoT for 4 years, mostly on Series X. I have never had an issue with the game crashing me to desktop as it does now. It started with the first big sandbox tools update they did in February and hasn't really improved. I tend to crash at least once during a session. They better fix it, especially with a whole new system being added.
When you are talking about server performance, you talked able how the game has a lower ship cap and briefly glossed over the dive mechanic, but I don't exactly feel like full significance of the dive mechanic was explained. Servers have become less of a "5 ships on the seas" and more of a revoving door of different players, since the gameplay loop doesn't give a downside to not diving. In my personal opinion, the seas have felt more populated than ever, and its basically impossible to keep track every ship in a session because you have no way of telling when a person is coming and going.
So happy to see you posting bro!
Aww, thanks. 😁
I'm a sea of thieves insider that was lucky enough to play the original closed beta before the game released. As soon as it went up for pre order on PS5 i instantly pre orfered the premium edition and took part in the PS5 closed beta, where I helped a lot of the new players get the hang of the game. It was really nice exploring the sea of thieves on PS5 and hearing how excited the players were for the full release
Dude please put the J2 videos back up I was looking for that sword of the samurai playthrough it was hilarious. One of my favorites cause of you thanks man.
Me and Duno are sailing on the guild right now Jon we might be able to get the first distinction! Also are you streaming this weekend? I would dm you but I don't want to disturb your peace
Don't know about anyone else but over the past week I've been getting nothing but crashes, I'm on Xbox series x. Thing's I'm encouraging - It glitches out when I dive rendering me stuck at the bottom, it sometimes backs me out the game when I first join a session, so I have to rejoin the session, it sometimes backs me out the game when I scuttle my ship, or teleports me to it when it's in a sinking animation, and I can't sell at sovereigns sometimes while using my own ship as the captain, I lost a fort of the dammed houl trying to turn in at sovereigns, I decided to scuttle so ppl couldn't see my ship so I could go sell to factions as that was the only way it was going to allow me to do it, it crashed, i had to rejoin session, crashed again as i was stuck in my ship, joined session again and I was back at dagger tooth on my ship, went to get the loot to sell at sovereigns and it had all disappeared lol. Anyone else getting these issues or know how to fix them ?
Yup same with me this game is the only game on my series x to crash and the game is laggy and feels like a fps drops with lots of rendering issues including some random white flashes. Have confirmed this with big SoT twitch streamers and they said it’s not just me so don’t worry it will be fixed soon
@@FighterChamp. Cheers 👍
I'm on series s and have the same problems, so far 3 days back into the game i haven't been dc'd but its laggy as hell sometimes and my friends get dc'd multiple times a day
Great video mr bardycore!
Man… I thought SoT would never be available on PlayStation, ever.
Since the initial release I’ve been avoiding SoT content because I got so bummed out every time knowing I would never get to play this gem.
My jaw dropped when I suddenly saw it on the PlayStation store. So happy! 🥳 🎉
I think you're gonna see a lot of players turning off crossplay to avoid having veteran players bother them when they're barely figuring out the game. It's actually smart. NO one's gonna play safer seas because the payouts are ass
I can confirm as a PS5 player I will 100% turn cross play off and stick with just consoles
90% of console users will do this 100%
@user-ne7mg4db4j You can't have PS only servers, You can either have "Sailing the seas with all Players" which is Xbox, PlayStation, And PC, or "Sailing the seas with Console Players" which has been said to include Xbox and PlayStation
@ChalkyR2D2 apparently they are ps only servers. In the announcement, the devs said ps players will have access to crossplay if they make a Microsoft acct.
@iCXRUX The ps only servers are only for the open beta commencing in a couple of days. Since Sea of Thieves is a Microsoft game, you will most likely be forced to have or make a Microsoft account to play like Minecraft.
I can’t wait to be able to stream this game on Twitch finally!
Im glad to see you posting vids again.Ive lost my father 3years ago so I understand your pain.Keep posting we love you here your a goat!
Hey, sorry for your loss mate. Thank you for sticking with me!
i only hope they make it where my pirate transfers to psn, as i would hate to grind all over from scratch again..but at the same point it may be fun too idk prolly not
They confirmed cross progression
Yea it works even my ps beta had progression
Welcome back Jon, you have my condolences
Hey J2 i am viewer from the old youtube channel. Just heard about your mothers passing. I just want to say i am sorry for your loss. And i hope you are doing well.
Hey, do you think that I will be able to get my cosmetics from Xbox on PS5 because I had the Black Dog pack and I don’t wanna lose it
I have noticed that for many games server stability has been a huge issue. Also over all in my opinion I have seen the internet in many parts of America and some of Canada have just been having issues all around. I know the issues could be secluded and depends on ISPS but it shows that servers overall need fixing XD
Servers are definitely on the priority list for Rare
Yesss! I should have bought the deluxe but I bought first preorder. But I’ve been envious of this game with other console and pc. I look forward to setting sail and getting sunk over and over and more envious of the hardcore players and their awesome glories! 😅 woot! Game on!
I just hope the ps5 players don’t make the community even more toxic. It seems ever since the game was released for steam the community has had a downfall 😕
EDIT: I’m not saying PvP is toxic? I’m saying the community has became racist and horrible
I won't mate don't worry about that 😂
How
Ngl PS players are generally less toxic than Xbox in my experiences.
@@CaptainHubz yeah true tbh it honestly just depends
I’d agree by far@@CaptainHubz
So if im in a solo sloop, im making my lobbies smaller bc the amount of ships per server is limited
This is truly the 2nd coming I used to play for months and ended up having to sell my Xbox but now that's it's on PlayStation sweet rose is ready for her sails to catch wind once more
Excellent! Enjoy the seas again.
It’s been the most pre-ordered game on the system, even though it is six years old. This has been an incredible move by Rare and will hopefully keep the game alive for a few more great years
We know they are setting up a team for just server stability so I hope that actually shows, love the video Bardcore!
Thanks Max, here's hoping that team put in the good work!
The man lives! Welcome back!
Thanks Leecros. Appreciate you always. 🎉
welcome back jon!
Thanks Puffle, appreciate you!
As someone who is terrinoe at pvp. I will be doing alot of hourglass day one of ps5 swabbies.
I'm someone with an unnatually high ping, I've learned to manage it and become a menace with it in many games, SOT included, I have multiple veteran crew members who say I'm the best cannon shot they've seen,
I've been playing a few months, got this game for Christmas from my boyfriend, hit PL, have a distinction, and I'd call myself decent, but no expert whatsoever. I have so much to learn, and each dive, each one-ball takes my game to a Hazelnutbeard error and right back to the ship 😅 But I always come back easily, and go back to my cannon station. The server issues I've seen are certainly nothing to cough at, and I do hope they get a *tad* stronger so I don't crash while in PvP when it's tense. But I've recently discovered you Jon, and your tips as well as Toxie Sinclair's have helped me so much.
I'm curious to see how this is going to affect things as a whole on the Seas, a bit excited especially for season 12 and to see how many this truly beings in 👍
Very excited for the upcoming updates and I'm glad to hear you are having so much fun with the game. But man, those Hazelnutbeard errors are THE WORST, aren't they? 🤣
@@JonBardcore THEY ARE! It's a point my friends all go "... The game is holding you back, Neb" 😂 It's a running meme.
This game has become such a fun experience and I'm always stoked for the future stuff, and I do hope someday I run into ya on the seas 😌
Cant wait to be able to play it again
Yeah I think I’ll try to help some new players if I come across them, but after a couple weeks the gloves are coming off
one question not for this but in general why did they take out the Athena voyage for thieves haven?
Not sure! Gameplay loop for that was pretty stale though
I feel like the second I set sail on the high seas some dude with 3k hours will try and rob me
3k hour players wont bother with you... unless you try and third party an hour glass fight. It is the 300 hour players who will be stealing your treasure, the ones who think Dark Adventure is edgy, use a sword/ blundy combo, think by anchoring a ship they win the fight, treat kegs as nuclear bombs, spam board, throw firebombs from the water etc. Anyway, you can catch up to this skill level pretty quick and eventually you will be one of them.
Sea of thieves is feeling more fluid and fresh than ever
Me looking at my game screen as the water basically flows backwards because the servers are tanking, microstutters everywhere and hitreg finally being "fixed"
I love this game but damn that made me chuckle hard... I know you meant fluid in terms of "how you can play the game" but still couldn't resist ther mate^^
Fair sails and see you on the bottom of the sea :D
Edit: well you said it literally 30 sec after that part xD
I’ve waited so long to be able to play this game. A few friends and I pre ordered it. I’m so excited.
I as a day 3 veteran I am sooooooo happy it came to my favorite company. I am so excited to get back into the seas especially with all the new content, also I'm a mercenary not a thief 🖖
Welcome back
Just wish Arena was back man
And quick swap to or some other improved combat flow
I miss me some Arena. But I'll take any game mode updates for HG at this point too.
the game is updating to season 12 on the 30th of April the are added 2 new weapons the throwing knife and double barrel pistol
New weapons won't do shit when the existing combat system sucks.
@@sSteppingStones@sSteppingStones, what do you mean by that? Can you be more specific? Is it too sweaty or is it just boring
Been playing since beta, still no shrouded ghost sighted
A video!!!! How are you and your family doing?
We're making do, thanks for asking Mando. Glad you enjoyed it!
My question is this how is the friend request system and party invite and invite system gonna work?
Probably the same way skull and bones do theirs.
@@teamofone1219 no think they Will Copy Minecraft bedrock friend system
I hope they are actual Humans and not just AI. Always when I play open crew, I get mates with no mic and no abilitie to write or read. They just stand in the tavern, and on good days follow me like a dog. That's it.
I truly love this game the game is truly fun and literally have a massive sandbox to do whatever u want with tether i been playing since day 1 on xbox and to see how much it changed is truly awesome
Welcome back jon.
Thanks! Always good to hear from the community
do you hqve an idea on how, I (xbox player) could posibly invite playstation player in my guild ? I have a small guild and when a PC player want to join, I need his Microsoft gamertag, so how about Sony ?
Sot will require all PlayStation players to have a Microsoft account so you will use that.
@@tommyherrick9042 thank you
Yehh I played the beta I had to make a Microsoft account
I used to play this on Xbox and I was so excited when it came to PlayStation because I knew of all the memories it would bring back
will they increase the player count? I mean it is next gen so why are we getting old gen features.
That doesn’t make sense. Also.. It is a current generation game. What “old gen features” are they adding?
I have every intention of being kind to new players unless they insult in any way, and then they will sink.
Your ship's ugly!
@@JonBardcoreHow did you know that‽ I made the "spite hawk" ugly to annoy my crew.
First SoT on PS then One Piece collaboration 😮 that would be awesome
I got the game on pc right before they announced it for ps5
PC is still a fine platform to have it on!
I feel you. I sold my PS5 to fund my steam deck 😊
I'm very much looking forward to more new players coming to the game, sea of thieves is an excellent sandbox for so many different playermade stories to happen, more people being able to experience potentially every session being different and exciting is always a good thing!
lets just hope not too many of them vote for hourglass immediately not knowing what it is xD
I love this game, been playing since day one and i can only be happy for this opening to playstation as it’ll bring new players (more money) for rare to support the game.
He's back!!!!!!!
I’m on PlayStation so I got a question does theives have mnk support
Im happy this game is on ps5 now. The first thing i did is pre-ordef the game and tomorrow i gonna play it.
To the external seas, may the Ocean bring glory to your ship.
Can’t wait it’s looks amazing
FYI Microsoft did not want to make consoles to begin with they wanted to make game but Sony and Nintendo did not wanted to partner with them.
I'll definitely be playing more with the wave of new players coming with the PS5 launch
More newbies till two thirds of those players get bored and leave after playing for a few weeks, the rest will probably stick around.
Kinda sad though they're literally just going to get picked on by the seasoned Xbox and PC players till they either give up or learn enough to put up a fight. Not a fan of the game loop anymore. People forget this is literally just an extraction shooter with loose rules. Griefing is a feature.
God, Sea Of Thieves extraction. 🤣 Never thought about it like that
I have a predication, mostly because of what I've been reading/hearing from veteran players:
Veterans are going to have a field day with new players. They're not going to pay a single regard to the fact that they're new. They're going to stream roll them, treat them like garbage, be toxic towards them, and drive them right out of the game. This is the actual reason the game is dead, and throwing those same players that killed the game a whole bunch of noobs to crush is going to repeat the same scenario. Asking the SoT PVP community to have respect and consideration for others is a losing battle, and you will be met with "its not called Sea of FRIENDS" if you try to reason with them.
My advise to any new players on PS5; turn off crossplay with PC immediately, hang in Safer Seas for a while, learn how t so blunder 1 tap skellies and sink skeleton ships. When you got those basics down, watch some PVP tips videos, head into high seas and go straight into hourglass battles. Get some PVP experience in before you start stacking and taking on world events so that you have game knowledge to defend yourself.
I’ve been waiting as a ps played a game like this should’ve been on all on day one. And I know people on ps skull and bone, and with bow that flopped leaving out core things that make a pirate game a pirate game,
We ps players are HUNGRY for this
Soo... where getting helldivers 2 in exchange right?
Im gald your back jon always appreciate your out look on this game and i always feel like you call it out on the bs and dont sugar coat anything but still appreciate the good features
Why do you want sea of thieves on PlayStation?
Phil: MONEY
happy for a new wave of swabbies in hg
Now if only HG itself got an update or two
I've waited 6 long years glad it's here
“Work of core game expansions was complete” really means “we finally finished the game we sold you dead on arrival 5 years ago”
I hate to say this, but this is the only game I ever wanted to play from Xbox. It’s a smart move to have the game on multiple platforms it means more money.
sea of thieves was a game made to be enjoyed by everyone. I have full faith that this PS5 release, and The opening of Cross-platform will see a fresh breath of life into the seas.
Game should go free to play already, you already have a premium store in a game that you already bought, there is no point to keep the game behin a paywall on a multiplayer sandbox that need players to be played
I buy the game and never spend a penny on the premium store, yet my friends wont buy the game because the lacks of content but if it was free, they will play it, like everyone I know don't think it is worth to buy the game but will try it
at the end of the day the grind is just for cosmetics doing the game thing over and over for years, just make it free to play and you will have so much more players, that means more people that could spend money on premium cosmetics
that just my opinion, it is great to have ps5 players but for me I think it would be so much better if the game was free and keeping the same nice and friendly to the players battle pass
They will probably go free to play after a few years it launched on PS5, to gain the most amount of money
I do like that Jon address the biggest problem with the game.. The feeling of an empty world and server problems.
A lot of youtuber and normal players seems to keep thinking that (oh.. ps5 will bring more players to the servers, it won't feel so empty anymore).. when in reality, it doesn't matter how many players the game have if the servers aren't able to support more ships.. cause even if the game have over 10 million players playing it at the same time.. The world won't feel more alive.. cause the servers will still only be able to have the same amount of ships on it, and a lot of players prefer to do their own thing over attacking others. That is facts.
So if the map stays as massive as it already is and the ship amount don't increase.. the world will still feel as empty as ever.
if they want to make the game feel more alive they need to increase how many ships can be on one server, and Fix server stability.
So again.. I like that Jon Bardcore addresses this topic a bit.
Hey thanks for that. This is actually something I'm really passionate about. I think the game needs to have roughly eight to ten ships on a server in order to make it feel alive.
@@JonBardcore I agree 100% with you on that. 8-10 ships would make the world feel so alive.
as someone who played World of warcraft for years.. it really is more special to see a lot of players together doing things interacting with each other.
I mean.. hey, even other sandbox games like Minecraft feels more Fun when you have a big group of players on one server.
That will just create more PVP encounters, infringing on peoples activities.
@@user-po4jl4yi1p yes.. it will, but this game is an Pvp game. and if people don't want pvp, they can play safer seas. end of story.
@@darknessmohag6181 Pvp as it stand is only rewarding for those actively seeking it, with more players ur just gonna frustrate those who spend hours gathering loot. I would be in favour of more players if they increase the world size or add measures to punish those who pursue PVP if they get sunk
Hey if ps5 release will keep this game going so be it!! SOT has became my main game and I just love it tbh❤! Hope ur doing well 🍻🏴☠️
I think it's absolutely great so have PS5 pirates join the seas! The 5-year road map might be over, but after seeing the preview event, I think they will continue to improve the game steadily. Unless maybe Rare is more interested in making new games.
I’ve run into a lot of assholes on see you thieves to one less ship is better in my opinion in fact, turn more skeleton ships up and ghost ships
Honestly my theory is there doing it because skull and bones is coming out but thats just my take on it
Picked it up yesterday on PS5, let's ride, boys!
Welcome to the seas!
Will the seas are broken currently for us😂
So many ps5 players are going to play this game a handful of times and never touch it again just like so many xbox players did. Yes millions of downloads is great but when you look at the most basic xbox achievements in the game that only have about 30% completion on them and an achievement that gives you a cool reward being in the 0.5 - 5% usually the lesser than 1% indicates people stopped playing before they even understood the game.
This game is going to be awesome I’m ps player and Im so excited
As a (former) PS5 owner this hurts.
Sea of Thieves is the most expensive pay to play game I have ever played.
I bought a gaming laptop and steamdeck thanks to SOT.
My PS5 was donated to charity 9 months ago 😢
So if sea of thieves is coming to Xbox when they bringing gow or the Spider-Man franchise
35 million player for SOT. before the ps release. not bad for 7 years
Ive been getting help for my constant anger. And being mad about games. I wanted to apologize to this community. Ive been so full of anger i always took it out in games. Me being mad about this game has shown me its meant to be played any way someone wants
The Blunderbomb is a sign that your crew thinks you’re amazing. But if someone is on an enemy ship blunderbombs you.. that’s a different story.
As an ex Xbox owner - Love you guys. Wish you the best moving forward in the console wars.
The worst part is my ping is 100 on fornite as a example and I’m told a Ethernet is the only solution but issue is the modem(wifi box) is downstairs and 100ft under(2 story house) anyone have recommendation how to solve this issue or alternitive
You renting or do you own?
Get a WiFi repeater or mech
the sot servers just suck.
Get a router in your room that connects to your modem and plug an ethernet cable to the router. That's literally what I do and I rarely get lag issues anymore, if ever.
That or if money is an issue buy a better wifi antenna for your device.
100 Ping is not terrible, but look into wifi extenders for your home
Lmao I’m new and I went straight to high sea and never found people it’s so hard if you wanna pvp
Sometimes that’s a blessing when you want to grind hard lol
Blame the resurgence on skull & bones
Im glad now im getting a ps5. Sony has had no real pirate games sense assassins creed black flag. 😢😢 nownim hyped
Are you going to be competing in SoTShot?
Saying a game is dead is so dumb. Games literally don't die. At least not like that. Not to mention NO ONE uses the phrase correctly anyway. If a game has even one player left on its servers it isn't dead. Plain and simple.
Long story short we could use more players Especially for pvp mode
