Sea of Thieves Introduces Competitive Mode with Content Update

4.3

At X018’s Inside Xbox event, Rare announced the next content update for Sea of Thieves, The Arena, will be coming early 2019

In the new The Arena update — which is the fifth free content update — will introduce a competitive mode to Sea of Thieves. As you compete with rival pirate crews, you are simply tasked to get the most treasure.

Sea of Thieves was announced back in 2015 alongside an announcement trailer. It flaunted some cooperative first-person piratey action indicative of what the final product would become. It wouldn’t be until three years later, in March 2018, where we would actually get our hands on it. If you want to see what we thought of the game, you can check out our review.

Since release, there have been plenty of updates and improvements made to the game, namely the named content updates that added new features to the game. This includes The Hungering Deep, Cursed Sails, and most recently, Forsaken Shores which expanded the map to include the volcanic Devil’s Roar region.

Sea of Thieves is available now for Xbox One right now. If you are a subscriber to Game Pass, you can play now without an extra fee.
