9 Launch Games That Would Ensure Xbox Scorpio's Success

9. Sea Of Thieves

Rare's swashbuckling adventure game may appear to have sunk below the water's surface and become dormant in recent times thanks to a noticeable lack of publicity, but rest assured that it's still afloat on the seven seas, steadily recruiting would-be looters and treasure seekers to test its waters, so to speak.

A free-to-enter Insider Program, which grants access to regular progress updates and sporadic technical alphas, has been running for several months now, and while its ships clearly aren't ready to leave harbor just yet, the foundations are strong; its appeal clear as day.

Community input is at the forefront of Rare's first major project since God knows when, and feedback from fans is funneled straight back into Rare HQ where it has the potential to directly impact the smorgasbord of content that'll eventually form Sea of Thieves' colorful whole.

How long remains of its gestation period isn't clear, but nothing sells a new console quite like first-party exclusives. Sea of Thieves could well be a killer app for the Scorpio come launch day.
