The Sea of Thieves Closed Beta launched today and it looks like gamers are loving the experience and copiously sharing it. Currently, the game is the most watched title on streaming platforms like Mixer and Twitch. This is remarkable given the popularity of games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and other recent releases. Sea of Thieves is an upcoming exploration-based pirate game from Rare. The developer is known for many famous franchises including Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, and GoldenEye. However, in recent years, the team focused on developing Kinect games for Xbox One and Xbox 360. This was a curious decision so when Phil Spencer became Head of Xbox in 2014, he assigned them a new project. Sea of Thieves is a shift for the developer and a concept the team hasn't tackled before.
