Sea of Thieves started off as an Xbox One exclusive before moving to Windows 10 PC via the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Now, Sea of Thieves is “coming soon” to Steam. In the last couple of months, Gears 5, Halo: The Master Chief Collection (MCC), and State of Decay 2 have also appeared on Steam. On Twitter, Nibel spotted the Sea of Thieves page on Steam.
