Sea of Thieves Dev Tracker

It's time to bring Merrick home! Speak to Larinna and then set sail for the Sea of the Damned to confront the Dark Brethren in 'A Hunter's Cry', Sea of Thieves' sixth time-limited Adventure. Live until 9am UTC September 1st.

We're still hard at work doing the necessary tinkering behind the scenes, and need a little while longer before we’re ready to weigh anchor. While you wait, why not get clued up on what's to come by perusing today's release notes: https://www.seaofthieves.com/release-notes/2.6.0.1

---

The Sea of Thieves servers are now offline, so you’ve got some time to rest up before the rescue mission begins. We’ll let you know when you can return. Or maybe Merrick’s advertised yelping will tip you off, keep an ear out.

Attention pirates! Merrick’s in a bind, so that ca... Read more

As compensation for some server instability during the Season Seven launch window, we will be awarding one Gilded Voyage of Restitution to all players who logged in between August 4th (11:30am UTC) and August 5th (10:59pm UTC). Please allow 72 hours for this to appear.

The team are still investigating reports of ship cosmetics not saving between sessions and we will provide an update when a solution is identified. In the meantime, we advise affected players against paying more gold to save their ship cosmetics.

---

We're receiving reports from some players that their saved customisations on Captained ships are not persisting between sessions. We're actively investigating this issue and will update you further once we have more information.

The team has resolved an issue with certain Plunder Pass rewards not unlocking at the appropriate level. Players who have already earned these items should receive them when they next log in.

Still having issues? Please raise a support request: https://support.seaofthieves.com

The earlier issues affecting gold and Outpost shops should now be resolved, with all players able to receive gold and purchase items as normal. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide another update should any issues resurface.

Thanks for your patience.

---

We're aware that some players are reporting delays in receiving gold when cashing in loot, and issues when attempting to purchase from Outpost shops. This is currently being investigated - expect an update when we have more information. Thanks for your patience.

The Sea of Thieves servers are now offline for essential maintenance ahead of the launch of Season Seven! Take this time to nail down your first ship's name and organise a crew for your inaugural Captained sail.

We’ll let you know when the shipwrights are ready for you all!

This is your one-hour warning! Get your crew aboard and your haul handed in – the Sea of Thieves servers will be offline for scheduled maintenance from 09:00am (UTC).

We have identified the players affected by Friday's data loss and will be applying 50k gold and 30 Doubloons to their accounts as compensation. Please allow 72 hours for this to appear.

We're aware of reports that some players aren't receiving gold when selling loot. We advise affected players to leave their current game and start a new session while we investigate. Data already lost is unlikely to be recovered - we'll provide a further update on this soon.

Here's some news from our Executive Producer Joe Neate on the scheduling of Sea of Thieves' next season. Over to Joe...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share an update on the progress of Season Seven with you all. As we revealed during the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase in June, Captaincy is at the heart of Season Seven and this is an update we are hugely excited about.

We believe Captaincy will transform the experience of playing Sea of Thieves, adding deeper meaning and history to every session and every encounter out on the seas, along with the much-requested ability to own and finally name your ship.

However, with such a fundamental update to the game, there is a lot of hidden work to be done in the background. This is an update that brings in a vast range of new stats to track, and has required a complex partnership across our Game, UI and Services teams to bring it to life.

As we started getting closer to the originally... Read more

We've identified a fix for the issue that has been affecting some pirates' cosmetic load-outs and unique traits. We will be implementing a solution early next week - please note that pirates' unique traits, such as freckles and scars, will be restored with this fix.

After being made aware that July's Emissary Ledgers had not activated as expected, we have investigated this issue and Ledger value is now being recorded correctly.
