A multiplayer pirate adventure game

Sea of Thieves is a premium adventure game developed by Rare Ltd. This game is a first-person multiplayer pirate adventure in which players sail on a vast open world and battle other players.

Sea of Thieves is a major release standard game version. So, anyone purchasing the game will receive a special edition that includes in-game goodies to help you look like a real pirate on your first trip. You will receive the hunter knife, pistol, compass, a 10,000-gold bonus, and more. Players who have already joined the game will also receive these bonuses.

Be a pirate and have an exciting adventure

Sea of Thieves is a multiplayer game supporting co-op and PVP gameplay. You will assume the role of a pirate, sailing on the open sea to find treasure and battle other ships. You can sail as part of a crew of up to four people or by yourself, taking on missions and other challenges. You will also sail to multiple locations—to find treasures, transport trade goods and hunt animals.

This game allows everyone to succeed based on skill and strategy instead of mechanically favoring the most gold and reputation. It also focuses on emergent gameplay, meaning crews encountering each other on the seas can choose how to play their encounter. They can fight to control each other's gathered treasure in ship-to-ship or close combat. You must earn gold and develop a reputation to become a pirate legend.

Progression in this game world is achieved through voyages and quests that raise your reputation with trading companies. Building a good reputation among trading companies means you will be entrusted with increasingly complex and dangerous voyages with more fabulous treasures to gain. However, the game does have some repetitive and formulaic quests. Furthermore, the game's graphics made it possible to use water and atmospheric conditions as integral parts of gameplay.

Major updates ahead

Season 11 of Sea of Thieves is a game-changer, introducing a wealth of new content and a revised playstyle. With a focus on accommodating players with limited playtime and enhancing the game's sandbox elements, the game’s latest patch update unveils a transformed voyage system. The most prominent feature is the new Quest Table, replacing the Voyage Table on the ships. Players no longer need to purchase voyages; they can freely select a company and a voyage to embark on, or access Tall Tales with ease. 

The new voyage system also introduces an innovative method of travel: diving into the waters to instantly arrive at your voyage location, a feature that's a real time-saver but comes with the caveat of washing away onboard loot. This revised voyage system further caters to players' needs by offering options for longer or shorter voyages, ideal for quick gaming sessions. Additionally, upon completion of voyages, players will receive a portion of reputation up-front, although selling loot remains a necessity for full reputation gain. 

Season 11 also introduces exclusive rewards for each voyage type from each Trading Company, with these loot types found only in specific voyages and contributing towards new items like the Cartographer's Pistol and Blunderbuss. To balance this exclusivity, most companies have extended their level cap from 75 to 100, adding a new layer of progression and offering Faction Distinctions that reward players with rings symbolizing their achievements.

This latest season also brings a revamp of emergent treasures, replacing standard faction loot with Kingly Treasures to make voyages and finds more rewarding. These treasures contribute to exclusive cosmetics—the Cartographer's Cutlass and Eye of Reach. Finally, this massive patch update announces a new Plunder Pass, offering a fresh set of trials, challenges, and rewards along with Pirate Emporium exclusives.
