Ahead of next week’s Sea of Thieves update to bring in some spooky new Halloween content, Rare has released some interesting stats on the newly featured pets – including how many players have picked out certain popular names for their feathered or furry new companions.
Unsurprisingly, the most popular monkey names include some clearly Disney-inspired ideas, with Jack and Rafiki taking the top two spots. Next up is Polly and Blue (presumably of Rio fame) for the parrots – but as can be seen from the infographic below, the more interesting names have been left off entirely.
In homage to the game’s executive producer, 153 pets have earned the illustrious title of Joe Neate. There are plenty Antonios monkeying around on the high seas too (70 to be exact) – a name you might recall from this little stream mishap last month.
On top of the pet info, it’s that time of year when all the games begin their Halloween celebrations – Bloodborne’s started last week, Apex Legends’ kicks off next week, and now we have a date for Sea of Thieves’ Fort of the Damned update.
