Insider Update 2.2.0.3 is now live. Check out the Outpost Shops and see what is new in stock before heading out on the seas to participate in July’s Event – The Pirate Games!
If you encounter any bugs, please head to the
Sea of Thieves Support site and let our Player Support team know.
Updates
Hit Registration
- In today's build, there will be a minor, unseen change to bullets and how they're treated from moving ships and rowboats. This change is related to specifically how the game calculates the trajectories of bullets.
- We've fixed an issue where changes to the velocity of your ship could affect a bullet after it is fired (including changes to the ship induced by bobbing in waves). This fix should make the bullet paths more predictable and generally fly more like you would expect them to.
Outpost Cosmetics
- The Thriving Wild Rose Set is now available in Outpost stores, locked behind the “Always Yours” commendation and the Hardy Ruffian Sea Dog Clothing is also available at Outpost stores too.
Known Issues
The Pirate Games
- The hurling challenge will not tell a player that they need to throw a bucket of sick on an enemy pirate.
- There is a range of placeholder imagery and text.
Pet Naming
- Players on Xbox are unable to rename their pets within the Pet Chest.
Tunnels of the Damned – Rejoining a Session
- While travelling through the Tunnels of the Damned, losing your connection to the game and rejoining may cause visual issues, causing the migration to the new area to fail and return you to your starting location.
Plunder Pass Reward Unlocking Issue
- Players who have purchased the Season Three Plunder Pass may find that rewards are not immediately unlocked when the appropriate level of seasonal progression is reached. Logging out and back in should resolve this, causing the unlocked item to appear in the relevant chest.
A Pirates Life Tall Tales
- ‘The Sunken Pearl’ – Players can raise the water level higher than intended and flood the whole shrine.
- ‘The Sunken Pearl’ & ‘Dark Brethren’ – When a door to an encounter is locked and players have to wait, it doesn't display a prompt to tell the player the door is locked.
New Tall Tale Commendations – Tale Visibility
- Players can browse Commendations for ‘The Sunken Pearl’ and ‘Dark Brethren’ Tall Tales before they have completed the preceding Tale. To prevent the experience from being spoiled, avoid reading ahead!
Ranged and Melee Weapon Hit Detection
- In areas of intense action, players may find themselves firing shots or landing strikes that do not cause damage to their targets. While improvements continue to be delivered during our content updates, this remains a key priority for the team.
Trade Route
- Purchased crates do not become locked.
Outpost Cosmetics
- The “Thriving Wild Rose” Flag is not shown on Brigantine after equipping it.
