Insider Update 3.4.0.6 is now live. As we approach the scheduled release of June’s update, 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.
