Insider Patch Notes 2.0.15.5
Insider Update 2.0.15.5 is now live! As we approach our next update, we continue to restrict the feature set to those we intend to release in June. Features and changes such as Ashen Lords and even the recent fixes to damaging players through the environment are still disabled as we focus on our next update.
If you encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
