With the March 20th Sea of Thieves release date now only five weeks away, Rare shared the detailed specifications depending on your target resolution and frame rate, scaling all the way from 540P@30FPS (yes, that's not a typo, though apparently they upped the frame rate from their previous 540P@15FPS target) to 2160P, or 4K, and 60FPS.
Between the fact that the game is going to be bundled with the Xbox Game Pass subscription and the incredibly low minimum PC specs, it's clear that Rare and Microsoft are trying to get as many pirates as possible into Sea of Thieves.
Stay tuned for more coverage of the game.
