Insider Patch Notes 3.3.2.5

Insider Update 3.3.2.6 is now live. As we approach the scheduled release of May’s update and the launch of Season 16, the next Insider builds will become focused on finalising this release. This means that the feature set and builds delivered to Insiders will now closely resemble what will be available in the final release.

As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.

Reapers Rising

Season 16 Launch

While Insiders have previously been previewing all of the features arriving across Season 16, this build is now focused solely on the features arriving at the launch of the Season in May. The features available in this build are therefore:

  • The Search for Ancient Secrets Voyage available on-demand at the Quest Table

  • Fort Vaults now rewarding the Cannon of Rage

  • Buried Order of Bone and Blade Skeletons that can aid crews on their island adventures

The remaining features will arrive later in the Season and are currently disabled in this Insider build:

  • Breaking the seal on Reaper’s Chests to release Order of Bone and Blade Skeletons

  • Followers of Flame Voyage available on-demand at the Quest Table

Season 16 Rewards

  • Rewards for Season 16 Commendations associated with features arriving in the May update have been automatically added to all Insider player’s inventories for testing purposes.

Updates

Server Migration Improvements

  • This Insiders build includes targeted fixes to address the black-screen loading issues experienced when diving to experiences in the Live Game.
