Sea of Thieves: 2026 Edition

Sea of Thieves is a shared-world pirate adventure where players crew sailing ships, hunt treasure, battle skeletons and sea monsters, and raid other player crews across an open ocean. The 2026 Edition reflects years of post-launch content additions including new quest lines, cosmetics, and a Pirates of the Caribbean crossover. Gameplay is emergent and social rather than story-driven.
