About this list
Sea of Thieves has the best sailing in any game on Steam. It's also the fastest way to lose three hours of treasure to a galleon that spotted you from the horizon.
The games below are the closest ones we have to Sea of Thieves after removing PvP-focused titles: pirate RPGs, naval combat games and sailing survival you can play without another crew coming for your ship.
What the filter removes
No PvP removes games where PvP is the point: games whose top Steam tags include PvP, Competitive, Battle Royale, Hero Shooter or MOBA; multiplayer games with PvP and no single-player mode; PvP MMOs; and PvP games that sell in-app purchases. Games with an optional PvP mode alongside a single-player or co-op campaign stay on the list.
