[2022] Sea of Thieves Spotlight Showcase #3

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

We’re back with a third Spotlight Showcase to keep you, our fine Steam readers, up to date with our regular Spotlight articles on the Sea of Thieves website – and below you’ll find no less than six instead of the usual four, thanks to a packed schedule pushing this latest catch-up deep into July.

It’s a good mix of Spotlight types too, with a trio of popular Community members, a couple of well-loved Creators and our latest nominated Legend. So fall in alongside us and find out who we showcased!



Way back in early May, we invited Captain Peachy[www.seaofthieves.com] into the Community Spotlight to talk about his fervour for the regular #SoTShot contests and his moment of fame as a synchronised swimmer. He did all that and more, throwing in some in-game photography tips too, along with bonus tales of Kraken attacks and a real-life Disneyland trip with friends made in Sea of Thieves.



Later that month we switched over to the greenish glow of a new Creator Spotlight, but kept up the food-themed names, definitely not by total coincidence. This time it was KatLikesTacos[www.seaofthieves.com] who came by to tell us about her lore-adoring approach to the game and how she balances streaming Sea of Thieves with everyday life, making a strong case for surrounding yourself with positive people.



June took us back to Community Spotlights to meet up with Sayuta[www.seaofthieves.com], who has logged more victorious #SoTShot attempts and qualified for the Hat of Unfeasibly Glorious Fame more times than we thought anyone would manage so soon, quite frankly. Read all about those, enjoy some pirate portraits and find out about Sayuta’s involvement in community videos too while you’re there!



Video was also a strong suit of our next subject – more specifically cinematics, as we caught up with famed footage finesser and Partnered streamer TruEdits[www.seaofthieves.com] for his turn in the Creator Spotlight. Having worked with many a well-known creator while producing his own atmospheric videos spanning the length and breadth of the Sea of Thieves, this is another pirate who had plenty to share!



Then we hit July and decided to add another notable Pirate Legend to our small but growing crop of Legend Spotlights – and who better than Anja[www.seaofthieves.com] (better known to many as gaming_4nj4), one of the most uplifting pirates on the seas. We found out about the supportive approach that’s made her so beloved, asked about her favourite new things in the game and, most importantly, secured cat photos.



Then for July’s second Spotlight we paid a visit to Skulliah[www.seaofthieves.com], allowing us to end our Showcase with a soothing Merfolk’s Lullaby. Many of that site’s prized resources were discussed in this Community Spotlight, so if you’re interested in player-focused tools such as a storm tracker and Mystery board, check out Skulliah’s insights into how and why he and his crew create such treasures!

And those were the occupants of our Spotlight slots throughout May, June and July ’22. You’ll find four more in our previous Spotlight Showcase (and the introductory instalment) if you missed out. And of course you can browse the full archive of Community[www.seaofthieves.com], Creator[www.seaofthieves.com] and Legend[www.seaofthieves.com] Spotlights in our official News section, or see what else players have been up to lately in the Community Content section of our Community Hub[www.seaofthieves.com].

Enjoy the summer sun and we’ll catch you back here in a couple of months for another Showcase!
