Insider Patch Notes 2.8.0.1
Insider Update 2.8.0.1 is now live. As we come out of stabilisation, we have a variety of Season Nine features for insiders still to try out and get in some practice before the launch of season Nine later this week. Deck your ship out with the Sea Serpent Ship set and become part of the legend and myth for yourself or grab a few friends and try our new balanced world events to see if you and your crew are up to the challenge.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
