There's no virtual reality on the horizon for Sea of Thieves

In a recent playthrough of Sea of Thieves we were struck by the game’s immersive first person perspective, simple controls and unobtrusive UI. ‘This,’ we thought ‘has VR potential.’ According to the game’s lead PC designer, Ted Timmins, however, that’s not the case.
Xbox has mentioned that the release of the Xbox One X means there’s a chance players could eventually see console support for Microsoft’s mixed reality headsets already running on PCs. Given the fact that Sea of Thieves plays seamlessly across both platforms, we asked Timmins if a VR version of the game would ever be considered.
