Misc Games, the creators of the highly-popular commercial fishing franchises Fishing: North Atlantic and Fishing: Barents Sea, proudly present their brand-new title: Ships At Sea. This exciting release introduces multiplayer co-op and competitive modes, delivering the dynamic gameplay experience fans have been eagerly awaiting.

Ships At Sea, the next generation of ship simulation, introduces service and cargo vessels for the first time. Build your career in service, cargo, or commercial fishing as you venture into the untamable Norwegian Sea. Join a company with your friends to collaborate on tasks and share resources, or run your own company in the same session to compete against others in a shared multiplayer world.

In partnership with Nvidia, we are proud to introduce the cutting-edge WaveWorks water shader, which delivers a cinematic-quality ocean simulation. Complementing this, we've implemented a fully overhauled, physically based buoyancy system to ensure vessels of all sizes behave realistically on the water.

To further enhance immersion, the dynamic weather system is composed of two key components. These components bring the environment to life with rain, fog, lightning, and storms. Together, they make every journey feel authentic and unpredictable.

Above all, Ships At Sea takes a bold step forward by allowing players to explore authentically recreated harbors in Lofoten, Norway. Immerse yourself in the vibrant port life—visit shops to purchase tools and equipment, or stop by the shipyard to upgrade, maintain, and repair your vessels.

Building on the success of our previous games, Ships At Sea offers an atmospheric and highly realistic environment featuring accurate maps, licensed ships and equipment. With stunning graphics, the game delivers striking, immersive visuals, providing the ultimate ship simulation experience. Embark on this journey and claim your place as a master of the seas!

To ensure a fully engaging maritime experience, Ships At Sea incorporates advanced technologies to enhance gameplay quality. The game supports Nvidia DLSS Frame Generation and AMD FSR 2/3 Upscaling, boosting performance by generating new frames and improving FPS. Additionally, Intel® XeSS is supported, and color settings can be adjusted to accommodate players with color vision deficiencies.
