Sea of Thieves gets some of that Destiny 2 drip as Sony and Microsoft play happy families

Rare’s Sea of Thieves, the live service pirate-em-up and one of Microsoft’s great Game Pass stalwarts, has announced a new collaboration with Bungie’s Destiny 2. This must be a funny feeling for Bungie, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2000 and made its name with the Xbox-exclusive Halo games, before going independent in 2007, and finally being acquired by Sony in 2022.

The Lightbearer cosmetics set brings various Destiny-themed items to the open seas, including new ship flags, liveries, costumes like the Drifter’s outfit, gun skins, and even the option to have one of Destiny’s ghosts (the chatty little hoverbot things) hanging off the bow. Everything can be picked up via the in-game Pirate Emporium.
