Sea of Thieves Season 5 Update Patch Notes and Server Downtime News.
Sea of Thieves gets a new update on Xbox and PC.
Fans of the pirate adventure game Sea of Thieves are treated to a brand new season of content.
Sea of Thieves Season 5 has a December 2 release date for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
The new season adds some exciting new features, including the ability to bury treasures like a real pirate.
Rare explains more: “Finally you can indulge in that classic element of the pirate fantasy: not just dig up treasure, bury your own treasure!
Almost any item can now be buried, creating a special map that leads back to your loot. Hide your most precious possessions, set traps for other pirates who manage to steal your Map Bundle, or even place a map on the new Quest Board for others to find treasure hunters!
“You earn Fame when other crews find your buried artifacts – reward them with a glorious prize or send them on a wild goose chase?”
Firecrackers have also been added to the game, giving players the chance to signal help or get things started with a bang.
Needless to say, a new season means new rewards, which can be unlocked by completing Trials and earning Fame.
Now that the server’s downtime has finally come to an end, fans can download the Season 5 update. See the patch notes below for more information.
