Rare have announced the recommended PC system requirements for swashbuckling adventure Sea of Thieves.
Here’ are ten Sea of Thieves Cursed Chests we’d like to see.
Rare have shared this handy nautical chart which outlines the full list of PC specs for Sea of Thieves, including the previously announced 540p resolution option.
We already knew the minimum requirements were low, but the recommended specs show the game will even run smoothly for those on a basic home laptop. Those with a more advanced setup will be able to run the game in all its 16BG glory on ‘extreme’ mode.
