News | Steam artwork hints at Sackboy: A Big Adventure PC release
People have found an illustration of the PlayStation game Sackboy: A Big Adventure on Steam.
Earlier this year, menus already leaked showing PC settings for the game. In addition, the game was also spotted in the Steam database last year. Now an icon has been found on the Steam servers themselves, reports VGC. So it is very likely that the game will come to Steam.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure was released on PS5 and PS4 at the same time as the PlayStation 5 was released. It is a three-dimensional platformer that can be played alone or with multiple players – some levels are even playable with multiple people. Previous games starring Sackboy – the LittleBigPlanet games – were controlled more or less like 2D platformers.

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.
