Grab a grog and pop on a party hat – Sea of Thieves Season Five has arrived!

The Sea of Thieves servers are now offline while we pop your Season Five pressies under trees, on shorelines and even in barrels. What? Wouldn't want you opening them all at once. Note that there will be an update to download before you can get your party boat started. Cheers!

This is your one hour warning – the Sea of Thieves servers will be taken offline at approximately 10am GMT. Check the map, mark the nearest Outpost and get going if you want that gold!

It's now acceptable to wear the Bonechiller Costume again.

Join members of the Sea of Thieves crew for an energetic discussion about many of the features, additions and quality of life improvements arriving as part of the free Season Five content update tomorrow, December 2nd!

📺

Give your ship a legendary look with the @Halo-inspired Noble Spartan Sails, available now! Simply set sail before 8am GMT December 8th and we'll get some grunts to smuggle them into your Ship Customisation Chest, free of charge.

Attention pirates! The Sea of Thieves servers will be offline from approximately 10am GMT tomorrow, Thursday 2nd, so that the Quest Boards can be built, cannons can be strapped to Rowboats and a new Season can begin! Please plan your Voyages accordingly.

Run!

While the Sirens view Krakens with particular reverence, they respect many predators of the sea. The Shrine of Hungering honours the ferocious sharks that inhabit the Sea of Thieves. #TriviaTuesday

If you've not set sail in the past week but desire the @Halo-inspired Spartan Ship Set, ensure you log in and wake your pirate up before 8am GMT tomorrow, Dec 1st! That's all you have to do to secure these spoils.

Let's hear it for the Storage Crate take button, arriving in Season Five! The more resources in a container the longer it takes, and stealing stuff from another crew’s ship will take a little extra time again, but it's far more agile than sticking your head right into the barrel.

The Pirate Emporium's Black Friday sale ends tomorrow, Dec 1st, at 10am GMT! Even if you haven't got the Ancient Coins to throw at discounted pets, costumes, weapons or ship sets, there's the free, frustration-based Tantrum and Oh, Come On! Emotes to grab as well. Don't miss out!

Today's episode of Sea of Thieves: The Gauntlet, airing at 8pm GMT, sees the dastardly @BehavingBeardly trying to stop the sweet-singing @Katie_Peircee! Shanties are expected from both.
