The retail version of Sea Of Thieves that we will be comparing with E3 2015 gameplay reveal is the Xbox One X version of the game. You can check out the graphics comparison in the video below, courtesy of Cycu1.

As you can see in the video, it is clear that there are differences between the E3 2015 gameplay reveal and the Xbox One X retail version of the game. However, this doesn’t mean the game is downgraded.

If you look closely you will notice that it is not so much of a downgrade as the majority are artistic changes. But, when it comes to vegetation, we can clearly see that it is less dense in the Xbox One X retail version.

There are also lightning differences between the two, however, this might also be an artistic change or could very well be a difference of in-game time of day. Also, there are some scenes where the game has clearly been downgraded. Check out the video to judge it for yourselves.
