Insider Patch Notes 2.9.2.3
Insider Update 2.9.2.3 is now live. In this Insider build, players will be among the first to take on a Skeleton Fleet to claim the coveted Chest of Fortune from this World Event. Insiders can also experience the new Discover Tab in the Quest Table, which recommends content to players based on their Sea of Thieves experiences and level.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.

Chest of Fortune
- The Chest of Fortune will now surface following the defeat of the Skeleton Fleet encounter. Following this change, the Chest of Fortune will no longer be recovered from the vaults of the Fort of the Damned.
