Grab Xbox One X, Sea Of Thieves, And Another Game On The Cheap Right Now

Sea of Thieves is one of the most anticipated Xbox One exclusives of the year, and it comes out tomorrow. However, there’s already a pretty good deal going on for the game if you happen to be in the market for an Xbox One X: you can grab a console with Sea of Thieves and another game for just $460.

A current promotion on Ebay slashes the price of a bundle that includes an Xbox One X, a game code for Sea of Thieves, and a choice of either Ghost Recon: Wildlands or Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition. The Xbox One X still retails normally for $500, Sea of Thieves is $60, and Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Overwatch are still in the $40-60 range, so this is a fantastic deal.

To take advantage, go to this Ebay page and add the bundle to your cart. You’ll see the $460 price tag when you begin checking out. It’s worth noting, though, that this is a limited deal, and it’s unclear how many of these bundles will be sold. So if you’re interested, it’s worth taking advantage of it sooner rather than later.

This isn’t the only Sea of Thieves deal going on right now: Microsoft is also holding an official promotion that bundles an Xbox One X and a digital copy Sea of Thieves together for the console’s normal retail price of $500. You can also grab a 1 TB Xbox One S, an extra controller, 1 month subscriptions to Xbox Live and Game Pass, and Sea of Thieves for $300.

Sea of Thieves launches tomorrow, March 20, although servers are already up in some regions–read here to see when Sea of Thieves goes live where you live. If you are an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you’ll get access to the game for free on Xbox One and PC. If you want to learn more about the game, check out our video where we fight the Kraken in Sea of Thieves.

SimCity Creator Will Wright Announces New Game Proxi

Proxi, a new mobile game from legendary game designer Will Wright, was revealed today during Unity’s keynote at Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2018.

Wright and developer Gallium Artists are creating the new title with Unity. Like the previous games Wright has created—which include SimCity, The Sims, and Spore—Proxi is a simulation game. In this new mobile game, however, players will construct worlds from their memories.

At the outset, players will have a blank world they can then develop by using memories as their building blocks. Players can choose any topic they want—like “family adventures,” for example—and place it into the world, creating islands of connected memories that will form into 3D worlds over time.

Black Panther Is First Film Since Avatar to Rule Box Office for Five Weeks in a Row

Black Panther ruled the domestic box office for a fifth week in a row, something no MCU movie has done before, and a benchmark a movie has not achieved since 2009.

Black Panther’s estimated $27 million weekend earned the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest entry the No. 1 spot yet again at the box office, becoming the first film to do so since Avatar in 2009. (That film went on to hold the domestic box office top spot for seven weeks.)

No other superhero film has remained atop the box office for five or more weeks, and only Avatar, Titanic, and The Sixth Sense have done so in the last 20 years.
