Along with More Fantastic Merchandise from Our Favorite Rare Games
Developer Rare is moving further along in their development of the Xbox One exclusive, Sea of Thieves. And as part of a charity, they are officially auctioning off one of their themed Xbox One S consoles. Only one of three exist and, according to Eurogamer, the proceeds will go to Special Effect. Special Effect is a UK-based charity working to help people with disabilities through video games and technology; a noble cause.

100% of proceeds will go to the charity, and fans are eager to show their support. You can see it for yourself in the console’s eBay auction page. It’s up to £920.00, with 33 bids. After the auction finishes on March 1st, eBay will ship the console to any location. Thus, wherever you are, you can still bid on the console.
But wait; there’s more: Rare is auctioning off more of its unique merchandise, such as Conker’s Bad Fur Day original promo poster, Rare Replay framed art – signed by developer, and the original Viva Piñata promotional poster. Everything Rare has for auction can be found by clicking here.
Sea of Thieves is coming this year, its release date anticipated at Microsoft’s E3 briefing. So far we’ve learned much of the technical info and seen interesting gameplay footage. Anyone looking to buy, know that the game comes as part of the Xbox Play Anywhere program. So you can play either on PC or Xbox One with just one copy.
