Insider Patch Notes 2.9.2.8
Insider Update 2.9.2.8 is now live. As we get closer to the release of Season 11, the Insider build will fall more in-line with what will be released in the next update to the retail version of the game. Alongside Season 11 features, Insiders will also have the opportunity to take part in another Pop-Up Plunder test. Head to the forums to check the time slots for this test!
As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Live Events
Pop-Up Plunder
- Pop-Up Plunder creates treasure spots at specific locations across all active servers for a limited time, however treasure can only be dug up once per server. Once a crew discovers the treasure on that server and hands it in, it’s gone! Head to the Forums to see when testing for this feature will occur.
