Insider Update 3.7.2.6 is now live. Insiders can now test upcoming level skips for the Season Pass.
If you encounter any bugs while playing in Insiders, please head to the Sea of Thieves support site and report an issue with our Player Support team.
Season Pass Level Skips
· Players can now purchase a limited number of Season Pass levels, aiding their journey through each Season. While level skips are offered as a convenience, all players will still have to engage meaningfully with the Season to complete the Season Pass!
· Pirates are offered a limit of 10 level skips each Season, which can be purchased with Ancient Coins. Each level costs 150 Ancient Coins and can be purchased directly from the Season Pass.
· All newly unlocked rewards from purchased level skips can be claimed immediately from the Season Pass.
In this Insider build, players are currently able to purchase more than the 10 level limit. This limit will be enforced as part of a future Insider update.
Shrinking Battle Bounds
· While the Battle Bounds will continue to shrink at the same stages early in the battle, during the endgame the area will now remain at a larger size to provide more space for crews to battle.
· While most battles will end naturally in a flurry of cannon fire, prolonged battles of over an hour will now be forced to an end with the Battle Bounds shrinking to a final ‘match ending’ zone to ensure one ship can be crowned victorious.
Winners' Grace Period
· After besting their rivals to become the Last Ship Standing, winners are now given additional time to collect their spoils and head to the final portal.
Retrieving Supplies from Vendors
· Further improvements have been made to supplies purchased from the Merchant Alliance or Hunter’s Call, with the goal of providing a more consistent delivery of all items when retrieving them from vendors.
Season Pass Evolved
· Players are currently able to purchase more level skips than the intended 10 level limit
