How many people play Sea of Thieves? July 2024 player count

Although you can play Sea of Thieves solo, the action-adventure game is best enjoyed with other pirates, and with the title supporting crossplay between PS5, Xbox, and PC, you can explore the pirate life with your friends across different platforms.

This might have you wondering how many players are enjoying the game. So here’s just how many players have tuned into Sea of Thieves in July 2024, as well as the lifetime player count.

Sea of Thieves player count this month

According to Steam Charts, Sea of Thieves averaged 11,538 players between June and July, with a monthly peak of 29,515 players.

Keep in mind that this only includes players who play on the Steam client and not on other storefronts like the Microsoft Store, and it doesn’t account for Xbox and PlayStation either. It is also worth noting that Sea of Thieves didn’t launch on Steam on day one and was available two years after its initial release. 

Peak player count

Sea of Thieves has an all-time peak player count of 66,632 which clocked back in June 2020. In a blog post, Executive Producer Joe Neate mentioned that Sea of Thieves has been played by 40 million players in its lifetime. That’s across Xbox, Windows 10, and Steam, not yet counting any of the potential PlayStation player base.

“40 million players across Xbox, Windows 10, and Steam is an amazing milestone to be able to talk about, and of course, it wouldn’t have happened without you – our brilliant, positive, and welcoming community, who continue to surprise and impress us with your creativity and antics out on the waves,” he said.
