\nThe Hungering Deep has been released for Sea of Thieves along with performance improvements and fixes.
The first content update for Seas of Thieves has been released, and it features something horrible lurking in the ocean\u2019s depths.
Along with The Hungering Deep, other additions, including a voyage of discovery featuring Merrick is included. But these new features will persist in Sea of Thieves beyond Merrick\u2019s story, which is a time-limited campaign.
All of the features included with today\u2019s release, along with the patch notes, can be found below.
The update on Xbox One and Xbox One X is around 1.40GB, and 1.35GB on Windows 10.
Bilge Rats \u2013 To stay in the know as to what is changing in the Sea of Thieves, visit the Bilge Rat character in the taverns to discover what time-limited events are active. Whether it\u2019s The Hungering Deep or future events, this is the place to go. New Threat \u2013 Something old, vast and hungry is surfacing. Follow the trail of riddles and rumours. We hope you live to tell the tale. Speaking Trumpet \u2013 Parley. Let other ships know if you are friend or foe with the new Speaking Trumpet, making yourself heard from longer distances. The first Speaking Trumpet is obtainable through The Hungering Deep campaign, but purchasable variants will be arriving in the shops in the near future. Ship\u2019s Flags \u2013 Want to sink and plunder, or seek allies to adventure with? Let your intentions be known with new flags which can be raised high above your ship. Climb up to the crow\u2019s nest and decide which to raise. Drum \u2013 Pirate percussionists (inspired by Merrick himself) can now be heard all across the seas. The first drum is obtainable through The Hungering Deep campaign, but purchasable variants will be arriving in the shops in the near future. Tattoos \u2013 Many pirates wanted them and now they are here. Check out the vanity chest for 16 sailor tattoo sets and visit the clothing shop on outposts for stocks of four purchasable tattoo sets. Scars \u2013 What enemies have fallen to your pirate might? Scars earned through campaigns and events such as The Hungering Deep will allow you to tell a story of your pirate\u2019s history and adventures. These are not purchasable, they must be earned. Shark Hunter Figurehead, Sails, Hull & Flag \u2013 With the strange increase in shark activity in the seas, shark hunting is on the rise. Shipwrights have caught on early to this trend and now stock a new figurehead, sail, hull and flag. Sailor Sail Tints \u2013 Want a splash of color on your ship but don\u2019t have the coin? Those Shipwrights are impossible to bargain with. Sailor color variants for you more cost-conscious pirates are now being stocked. These include Black, Grass Green, Royal Blue, Red and Yellow. Majestic Sovereign Clothing \u2013 If it\u2019s time to freshen up your look, check out the new Majestic Sovereign set in the clothing shop, it may tickle your fancy. Remember stock is different from outpost to outpost, so you may want to check the Ancient Isles. Item Color Variants \u2013 Purchased the Grand Admiral, Castaway Bilge Rat, Ruffian Sea Dog or Imperial Sovereign clothing sets but want matching items? Now they are here. Shipments have arrived at the equipment shops on outposts. Pirate Legend Dress \u2013 We heard feedback from our Pirate Legends that in the approach to summer, a breezy alternative to the existing Legendary attire would be appreciated. Future Pirate Legends will automatically be awarded this dress, and existing Pirate Legends can grab it in the Hideout for free. Ghost Dress \u2013 Arriving in the same shipment as the Pirate Legend Dress, pirates can now complete the Ghost set with the dress, stocked in the Pirate Legends Hideout clothing shop. Pirate Legend Flag \u2013 Rush to the Shipwright in the Pirate Legends Hideout to get yours. Pirate Preview Camera \u2013 The daily dilemma for every pirate, what to wear?! Make that an informed decision with the new animations within the clothing and vanity chests. These new animations will bring focus to the area you are currently equipping. Loading Screen \u2013 In case too much grog has made some pirates forget\u2026 the loading screen imagery has been updated to highlight The Hungering Deep campaign. CPU performance has been improved when loading objects. Further improvements and optimizations for all platforms are ongoing. Permanent black loading screens will no longer be encountered when returning from the Ferry or using the mermaid. Leaving and returning to the ship will no longer remove the tool-tip to unload cannons which are loaded.
Upon starting a Merchant Contract or Bounty Voyage, the UI message will correctly state \u201cQuest Received\u201d rather than \u201cMaps Discovered\u201d. Coral and plants will no longer appear to pop in when approaching the reef near Fools Lagoon. Light will no longer appear to flicker underneath the large eagle rock on Plunder Valley. Upon spawning at an outpost, an issue has been resolved which would occasionally cause the crew\u2019s Galleon to be missing. Resolved a known cause of some player disconnects. Multiple server and client crash fixes. Customer Support have resolved all known issues for players missing downloadable content in-game. If you are still experiencing this, please refer to this Support Article, and if you still cannot find your items in-game, submit a support ticket. Washed-up items, including messages in bottles, are still disabled. Team still working on getting these switched back on as soon as possible. Dropping Skeleton Fort keys in water can prevent them from being picked up again. Athena\u2019s Fortune Bounty Quest skeletons are sometimes unable to be found.
