Insider Patch Notes 2.5.2.11
Insider Update 2.5.2.11 is now live. In the last Insider build before our June update, the listed Known Issues have continued to be worked on ahead of our final retail release. The Forsaken Hunter Adventure is still live for players to explore as well, just head to an Outpost and speak to Larinna to get started.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
World Changes
*New Golden Sands Outpost *
- The fog surrounding the New Golden Sands Outpost has been lifted and the lighting updated to more accurately reflect the outcome of the Lost Sands Adventure.
