The Premium Edition is a worthwhile pick if you want a version that packs the most punch, offers exclusive ship cosmetics, a unique pirate costume, a pet dog companion, and a Season Pass for ongoing rewards. It is currently priced at $59.99 on PlayStation Network.

The Premium Edition suits long-term playe­rs focused on looks, as it includes extra costume­s. However, the re­gular version gives the full game­ too. That one works well for newcome­rs or those more intere­sted in gameplay than outfits. Both let you try the­ fun of pirating with friends on the high seas.

However, if you are an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate user, you can grab the Kraken Classic Bundle for free in Sea of Thieves.
