Insider Patch Notes 2.10.0.7
Insider Update 2.10.0.7 is now live. The Insider build that was initially scheduled for Tuesday has arrived! As we approach our February update, this build doesn't introduce any specific new features to test, however it is representative of the feature set we intend to deliver in February and therefore we need your support as we prepare our final release build.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
GDK Integration
While Insiders have been providing valuable test support on the GDK build of Sea of Thieves in isolation, with this Insiders update, GDK is now fully integrated into all our builds moving forward.
GDK Integration
- Sea of Thieves now operates on the latest Xbox GDK (Game Development Kit)
- Sea of Thieves now supports DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 where supported by the hardware. While the title will now auto-detect and optimize, players can select explicitly within the game settings.
- General client performance improvements should be seen across the experience, with PC players seeing the largest improvements.
- Regular game updates on Console and through the Windows store will now be much smaller moving forward.
- The Microsoft Store experience on PC is improved with the client now signaling the need for an update and the ability to set where to install the game from the Xbox App.
