An upcoming update to Sea of Thieves will add dogs to the game.
The update is due for release in September and will allow players to take dogs as pets. Like previous pets such as cats, parrots and monkeys, players can give attention to dogs by, for example, petting them.
Sea of Thieves is from Rare, the makers of games like Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie and Kinect Sports and has been available for several years. In the game, players form a pirate crew together with friends or strangers. You have to work together to pilot a pirate ship, search islands for treasure and fend off other pirates and monsters.
