The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A lively, unpredictable shared sandbox where you sail, fight, and plunder with a crew, blending cooperative adventure with spontaneous player-driven encounters.

What players say

Players split on Sea of Thieves: many love its core adventure with friends, but long-time players say PvP toxicity, unresolved technical issues, and developer missteps, including a grooming scandal, ruin the experience.
