Sea of Thieves Specs for PC Version Revealed

Sea of Thieves, Rare’s new upcoming shared world pirate themed action adventure game, is almost here- and in spite of the skepticism surrounding the title (Rare hasn’t ever made a multiplayer game, Rare hasn’t made a non-Kinect game in a decade, Rare hasn’t made an actually well received game in nearly two decades), it seems like the game is shaping up to be great. All the initial impressions of it are overwhelmingly positive.

Now, with the release of the game right around the corner (it launches next month), Microsoft and Rare have shared the requirements for the PC version of the game. Microsoft and Rare stated an aim to have the game work even on low end machines, and it looks like they will indeed manage that.
