For Microsoft, Sea of Thieves isn’t some below-the-radar project that’s beneath the company’s notice. Its Xbox division, in particular, is very keen to see this multiplayer pirate game succeed.
Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox, showed his public support for the project by coming onto the latest Inn-side Story video to talk about his own personal experiences playing the alpha and what he thinks of the game. “You’re building just a magical experience for people to go out onto the open seas and have a great time together,” he said.
Spencer also complimented the team’s infectious energy and Sea of Thieves’ approachable and flexible format. He notes that building a brand-new IP is scary but that it’s a worthwhile project and one that Xbox supports.
