Sea Of Thieves

Sea of Thieves, Rare's swashbuckling adventure, has had plenty of criticism over the lack of content but their latest update proves those days are long gone, as Rare counted 8.4 million players, 2 million of which came after the update.

Rare and Microsoft are finally introducing another big batch of content to Sea of Thieves in today's Anniversary Update. The biggest additions in the new update are certainly the competitive mode The Arena and new Tall Tales story.

Rare have released a trailer for Sea of Thieves' upcoming story mode Tall Tales, and it's about half way between Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean. The dev promises immersive ''stories of piracy and wild encounters on the waves.''

Much has been said about Sea of Thieves' immediate post-launch content, or lack thereof, but it seems that even the worst nonbelievers are getting onboard for the upcoming anniversary update, which adds the Arena, Tall Tales mode and more.

Sea of Thieves' long-awaited Anniversary Update is scheduled to finally drop on 30 April 2019. The update will introduce a couple of new features such as fishing and cooking, competitive mode named The Arena and a brand new storyline.

As promised, Rare have rolled out the new update to their swashbuckling adventure Sea of Thieves, adding a new Mercenary Voyage, a bunch of combat balancing improvements, performance tweaks and decreases the game's footprint by 20GB.

If you're still on the fence whether to get into Sea of Thieves or not, then we've got some good news - Rare and Microsoft have kicked off the Friends Play Free campaign that lets existing players invite three friends for a free week.

Rare have been posting developer updates for Sea of Thieves on a regular basis and the latest one mentioned that Xbox One players will get an option to opt out of cross-play with PC, which caused divided reactions from the fan base.

Executive Producer Joe Neate confirmed that cross-play will become optional between PC an Xbox One players in the latest Sea of Thieves developer update. The developers are hoping to introduce the change in one of the future updates.

Microsoft's pirate game Sea of Thieves will get install size update which is scheduled for 06 February 2019. The update will greatly reduce install size but will also require players to re-download the entire game again on all platforms.
