Sea of Thieves, the popular pirate-themed multiplayer game, is set to introduce private single-crew servers in December. This highly anticipated feature has been requested by the community for over five years and will allow a crew of up to four players to explore the game world without any player-versus-player encounters.
In addition to private servers, Sea of Thieves’ upcoming Season 10 will bring new features each month, starting with Guilds in October. Players who have reached Captain status and own their own ship can start a guild and invite up to 24 players to join. Guild members will have the ability to pledge their ships for use by others while they’re offline. Moreover, they can progress through a new Guild reputation track that unlocks exciting rewards.
November will see the introduction of a thrilling competitive voyage called “The Skull of the Siren Song.” Crews will race against each other to find a treasure chest containing the fabled Skull of the Siren Song and compete for valuable rewards.
Finally, in December, private servers known as Safer Seas will be made available as a play option. In this mode, up to four friends can embark on adventures together without worrying about encountering hostile crews. It provides a safer and more relaxed environment for engaging in player-versus-environment (PvE) content. However, it’s important to note that Safer Seas does come with some limitations compared to the regular shared world mode.
Parents or guardians who have children interested in playing Sea of Thieves should be aware that private servers offer a safer gaming experience with PvE gameplay but do have certain restrictions compared to the regular mode. For instance, players using private servers won’t have access to Guilds or certain live-service events. Additionally, Trading Company progression is capped at level 40 in Safer Seas.
By introducing private single-crew servers, Sea of Thieves aims to provide an enjoyable experience for players who prefer PvE gameplay and want to explore the vast pirate world without the worry of encountering hostile crews. It offers parents or guardians a way to ensure their children can engage in adventures with their friends in a more controlled environment.
With its ongoing Season 10 updates and exciting new features, Sea of Thieves continues to captivate players of all ages. Whether sailing the high seas as part of a guild or embarking on competitive voyages, there’s something for everyone in this immersive pirate adventure.
