Sea of Thieves Season 1 Live, Patch Notes Revealed

Sea of Thieves finally launched its new seasonal format today. Season 1, which is now live, brings a handful of unlocks, cosmetics and other goodies for those still playing the pirate simulator. In addition, a major new patch has been released, bringing a number of new changes.

Season 1 of Sea of Thieves will finally see the game evolve into a format that, like many other games on the market, will compete: the E-Pass. This Plunder Pass contains exclusive items that you can’t get otherwise. Apart from this Plunder Pass, however, all players will have access to a completely free pass that will contain 100 levels. Each level brings a new item that you can use in the game.

As for new content, Season 1 also adds new events to Sea of Thieves. Instead of relying solely on trials like in the past, these events will give players specific goals to achieve within a month. And as usual, achieving these goals will bring unique rewards.

Finally, in terms of major changes that also took place in Season 1 today, the latest patch for Sea of Thieves has brought a number of bug fixes and gameplay improvements. But one of the most notable additions to this patch is probably the 120Hz support. If you have a monitor that can take advantage of this, Sea of Thieves now supports 120 Hz on Xbox Series X consoles. The upgrade includes a total of 6GB to 8GB, depending on the platform.

Sea of Thieves is available now for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC. If you want to follow all the events of the first season, you can do so here.

Known issues

Short and long range impact detection

  • In areas of high activity, players can fire shots or punches that will not damage their target. As we continue to improve our content, this remains a key priority for the team.

Impact of actors after server migration

  • We are currently tracking a number of issues for stakeholders that may arise after server migration. These include crews migrating near outposts and entering an area where another vessel is already present, as well as problems related to interaction points between vessels after migration.

Frozen unemployment insurance menus

  • When working with the vault and going quickly through the inventory, the status of the vault may not be updated when items are removed. It can also happen that the game options on the screen remain blocked if the player leaves the cannon in this state.
