Insider Patch Notes 2.6.1.6
Insider Update 2.6.1.6 is now live. Players interested in the upcoming Sea of Bones still have chance to take to the seas and dive into battle just select a faction and unfurl the War Map to begin. On the other hand, if an Adventure is what you seek speak to Larinna at any outpost to see what you can do to help.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
