Time to do some investigating reporting. People have been saying a lot these past months that Sea of Thieves is a dying game... or already dead.
I had to find out for myself and see if these claims were correct.

I literally played for the first time in 9 months last week. I got 95k on my 1 man sloop after 2 hrs of not seeing anyone, suddenly got chased by a blood thristy trio when near port, dumped my loot in my dingy, swung around the island breaking line of sight, and took off on my dingy in the opposite direction with all my loot as i watched the trio chase my empty ship to the horizon and beyond. Laughed my arse off for a solid 5 minutes. This game is still fire

@@JonBardcore SoT means/meant a lot to some competitive players. It took rare years to make the game as casual friendly as possible by lowering the skill ceiling/trying to kill this part of their community. Over those years a lot of people spent hundreds if not thousands of hours in the game. It's not that easy to completely ignore something that had such an impact on you for that long. Some of the people who sound negative in comments like Bee here just want to see the game doing better.

Something that's always important to keep in mind is that the peak concurrent player count for any given day or month only shows how many people are online at the SAME TIME. It doesn't show how many INDIVIDUALS come online at any point throughout a day or month. There are plenty of people who don't play every day, and people don't all log on at the same time. All game companies keep track of the total individuals who log on at least once during a day/week/month, and those numbers are far more indicative of a game's population than the concurrent player count. That 400,000 number seems realistic to me as the number of individuals logging on at least once per month, and that's DEFINITELY not a dead game!
@KarlSmith
@KarlSmith 8 месяцев назад
Yupppp, "concurrents" always trips people up. That 386K actives number is almost certainly *just* based on Steam - it's pretty easy to extrapolate 14K peak concurrents out to 200-400K monthly uniques. Devs have regularly said it gets "millions" of MAUs. So at least over 1M but in the past on big releases (like Disney Pirates) it hit nearly 5M uniques!

For the millionth time: Arena stopped because RARE wanted it to stop. Players declined because Rare stopped updating it and the mode became literally, LITERALLY unplayable. People got tired of getting kicked out during battles or them never starting in the first place, so they quit trying to play. I was in the lobby and it was full to the brim and the match would not start, then we would get kicked and have to start the wait again. I was there. Player interest declined because Rare forced it to. The lie needs to stop that we, the Arena Players made it stop with lack of interest. Rare did not want the mode to continue, so they started breaking it and we gave up trying to play their broken (on purpose) mechanic.
@Noobface

He nails the key takeaway: Sea of Thieves is not a competitive PvP game. It's also not marketed as such. So, holding SoT to standards Rare's not even trying to reach is asking for disappointment. It's no wonder a crowd of these folks echo themselves into these arguments of "dead game."
@le_big_monke543
@le_big_monke543 8 месяцев назад
Well, actually it WAS marketed as a pvp game for majority of its launch. Pvp content was consistently promoted in sot trailers for a long while until around when the Pirates life tall tale series was released and they roped in a whole bunch of new players. Because of this massive increase due to a story release, their entire focus shifted from pirate game based on combat and player interaction, to pirate game based on short story missions and pve grinding.
@ElroyTheTwost
@ElroyTheTwost 8 месяцев назад
​@le_big_monke543 notice how he said COMPETITIVE PvP game? It was marketed as a pirate game that had pirate elements such as yknow stealing shit. But a hard-core PvP experience was never what rare offered with the game. At the end of the day it's a sandbox game with optional PvP and because it's a sandbox some people will love the PvP and some will hate it. For a very long time PvP elements were added to the game with each update. I agree a new ship or type of cannonball/weapon would be cool but at the end of the day it's rares game and they want to tell a naritive and that's what they are focusing on. And like it or not alot of people are excited for that narrative and more PvE stuff to do.
@sothisq5817

While the game definitely isn't dead, and dying is probably too strong a word, you can see player numbers dropping over time. Season 10 had one of the lowest player counts on an update day of all time, which is not a good thing to see for the game's health. Steam charts is not an accurate representation of the exact number of people playing, but it's a good indicator of how many people are playing compared to previous points in time.

I have 1500 hours in the game, after a 2 month break (with sporadic play prior to that), a week into season 9 and I called it quits. Haven’t played since but still love what SoT could be. I just don’t think Rare are actually dedicated to making SoT the best version of itself it can be. We’ve all seen their priorities over the years, the fact that it took 5 and a half years to even work on hit reg, only for it to come out worse than before, speaks volumes (just one example in a long list of many). But as long as we have “new” recolored cosmetics in the store, we’re in it to win it, baby! Amirite?! 😒 Watching streamers cruise around for 2 hours and only encounter one boat, then sink that boat in 14 seconds (while getting hit regged out of their minds, then insert salt mine from brand new pirates who don’t understand the game yet), then back to server hopping for 1-3 hours, rinse repeat, also speaks volumes. Take all that for what you will.

It DEFINITELY can’t be that, huh-uh, no way! If they actually had 2400 hours in the game they’d be FULLY aware of the insane amount of time Rare has “said” something then went completely the opposite direction or have been caught dead to rights lying: “we will never bring back hard earned time limited cosmetics, as that would ruin their value and achievement” *brings back time limited cosmetics right after, then continues doing so, claiming they never said that*, just one example in another long list) Edit: also hard to “spark interest” when the only thing I wanna do in this game is fight other pirates and my two options are: sit underwater in a queue or 15 minutes, sink a some brand new guy who accidentally voted on hourglass within 5, rinse repeat, OR I can sail around for a couple hours in a dead game looking for someone else to shoot a cannonball at. There’s a reason I quit a week into season 9, literally couldn’t find people to play against and got bored af doin uncontested fofs. And looking at season 10, it’s the exact same except empty fotds instead of fofs. VERY exciting gameplay. Edit 2: peoples’ biggest complaint about the new siren song event?

May sound dumb but if im being honest, the only reason i stopped playing SoT is because of the sailing part in between the fun parts. Sometimes the sailing just drained all my longing to keep playing out of me, nothing really happens, i know it sounds dumb but i really felt like i was wasting my time because the sailing parts were longer than the other parts. I just wish they would add some distractions/small events for players to just enjoy while sailing. Imagine dolphins or a whale coming out of the ocean for a split moment.

Thankfully the game still have a playerbase. I used to play it every day, but not gonna lie, the seasons kind of ruined the game for me with lack of updates, i wish they could go back to monthly or atleast each 2 months, even if its smaller updates, then its better then waiting for like 8-9 months before something happend. Also server performance is currently an issue and its been for atleast a year or 2, or even more but i can feel it more and more. I also used to have like 80-90 MAXIMUM ping, and now i always have 110+ all the time on eu servers. The remove of quick swap, i dont really care, i use to use it myself, but i understand it was a "bug" inside the game, and imw fine with them removing it. This game will always have a special place in my heart, and i still play it here and there, but not as much any more. It is maybe gonna sound a bit wierd but i miss the more simple times, the 3 first year of the game was absolutely dope. So to me, when the seasons started, the game started to lose my interest.

Then in the evening I dont even bother trying to do FOTD or SOSS because that's when all the try hards are on. I played for like 3 hours yesterday just doing gold hoarder vaults and digs and had like 30 chests on my ship before handing in. Sometimes the game being quiet is good for us newer players. I will say one thing tho. Rare need to kind of step up their game with adding content. One thing id like to see is something other then a Meg or a Kraken attacking you, maybe add some more sea monsters like the Hydra.

Been playing daily about 4 years now (xbox), and still play every day but it is not the same as it was a couple years ago you can feel the difference for sure. If you want an idea of the player base, take a look at the monthly ledger stats. They average like 60,000 players in the stats per month and that only counts those making enough emissary money to rate in the ledger. So there's still a lot of players on it. But even as a long time player who still plays daily, I'm pretty bored with it now and only continue playing because there's nothing else like it. There's no other naval or pirate type open world sandbox, which is kinda surprising. I have most the cosmetics, am sitting on like 23 million gold on top of that with nothing to really spend it on, and have most the commendations I'm interested in. Lately I've just been hopping open crews and that keeps it spicy because different people bring a different experience and I've landed on some cool crews.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm glad PvP in the game still exists, but I'm also happy that it's no longer the center focus of the game.

Recently just came back to the game(on Xbox) late last week after about 2 years went about 3 days of at least 3 hour play time each day without seeing anyone the 4th day I saw one ship and was sunk just as I was getting off for the night and played again today for another 2 hours so 14 hours played and one ship seen with cross play turned on maybe not dead but maybe they have too many emptyish servers

1. a dead game could also buy deals with other people. Especially when their game cost 35 bucks and an ingame stores with tons and TONS of cosmetics that you can buy with real money. 2. it's not because a game isn't competitive that it doesn't need fixing. The state of pvp has always been bad since 2019. 3. Rare is just lucky that they don't have major competition. They are lucky that they have a game that fills a certain niche because if they would have any competition they would die in a second seeing all the bugs still remaining in the game. 4. the steam chart may not be accurate to represent 100% of sot community but the curve is still going down to this day. honestly pretty horrible opinion. "bug no need fix because pvp. Game not dead because new disney content!!!!"

I agree that the game is a pretty much a casual pirate sim. I only hop on for a couple hours a week to do a little pve and treasure hunting. I do enjoy the pvp aspect of the game, but i dont actively look for it. If i do want pvp, theres the hourglass fights lol. However it is a rush to be hunted down by a sweaty crew that ill more than likely sink to. Its part of the fun. I think the games designed to be played however you see fit. You want to stock your ship up and chase tall tale sloops? Go for it. Want to spend all day grinding loot commendations? Do it. You like to fish? Thats there too. The game isnt dead in my eyes, and I'm glad I've had it in my library since it dropped.

I don't know about all that, it seems to take forever to find someone to fight in PVP and if there is hundreds of thousands of players on all at once all of the server instances should be full and the gold reaper chest should always be on the horizon. But no, there is always server merges happening and sometimes the match making for PVP just gives up and spits you back at port.

I used to remember a time when I thought "man I cant see myself ever uninstalling this game off my system, even if I'm taking a break ill come back later, so I might as well keep it installed" but truth be told I uninstalled SOT about a year after me not having even an inkling of wanting to play the game anymore. I used to love SOT and have around 1k+ hours logged. But with every update even with new tall tales I feel less and less desire to play the game. Tall tales used to be something id constantly ask for on twitter and SOT forums, but I haven't even played the most recent monkey island tall tales except for the first one. Theres something missing from SOT for me, I don't know if I just milked the game dry or perhaps the magic was lost with time and updates... maybe Ill never know.

Daily players and concurrent players are 2 completely different things. Due to timezones and the fact that people do other things than playing sea of thieves, not everyone will be online *at the same time*. I would say an average session is 2 hours long, this means that the concurrent players are 1/12 of the daily player count (if they are spread equally). 386k/12=32k. There is no way 400k players are playing at the same time (that would mean it has more players than baldur's gate 3, pubg, and cod combined), but it's not unrealistic to say that 400k players launched the game today.

@Hawkeye-tw9wv
@Hawkeye-tw9wv 8 месяцев назад
Sea of thieves isn’t dead, it might see like it but at the end of the day it all boils down to one factor: What is your view on the game? Do you see the game as an competitive game where you try and make as much money as you can while under the looming threat of others? Or do you see it as an untamed beast that one moment you could be loving and the next you could want to execute it. My point is if you see the game as competitive then you’ll almost definitely see the game as dead or dying, but if you are on the other half of the spectrum where you see a ship and actually choose whenever to go after them or leave them be you’ll definitely see the game as thriving.

The argument is the game is a high risk high reward style of gameplay, but not everyone who wants to play it cares about the risk to reward and just want to sail the seas and find/dig up treasure, without the risk of spending a couple of hours gathering only to lose all the gold and exp earned in that time due to “its pvp bro, it’s sea of thieves not sea of friends” Which makes sense why they finally added safer seas which is pure pve even though you take a 70% hit to earnings and only get 30% of what you would earn in high seas (multiplayer mode), but honestly I think they will revise that when they see how much safer seas draws people in more than high seas.

And this video perfectly illustrates why Safer Seas will most certainly have its restrictions lifted eventually. The playerbase for which, "the game is made for," will complain enough for Rare to finally remove them, and High Seas will just be another dead mode like Arena, because PvP alone with 0 incentives will only be fun for so long.

@@nickh4280 you've gotta fight em off so hard, they don't return. grinding for loot isn't difficult, just very time consuming. though it does suck when you sink an attacking boat only for it to not have any loot, and no supplies. The only issue MAYBE is fighting a war of attrition, but you could always stack back up. Btw If you're running an emissary, then the flag does mean you accept the risk of pvp and turns you into a shiny loot boat. If loosing loot is this much of a problem then just sell at every opportunity to keep your boat light.
