Today, we are celebrating a year of adventures in Sea of Thieves! It’s been both humbling and awe-inspiring to see millions of players from all over the world set sail and create their own stories on the Sea of Thieves. On behalf of everyone at Rare, I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s played and made Sea of Thieves what it is today.
While it’s been an amazing first year, we’re not done yet. With four major updates, nine time-limited events and more than thirty game updates, we’re still just getting started. We’re as excited about Sea of Thieves today as we were a year ago, and I’m pleased to be able to share with you a big reason why – The Anniversary Update, our biggest content update so far, will be coming free to all players on April 30.
The Anniversary Update is a game changer that takes Sea of Thieves to a whole new level. Packed full of new content that’s guaranteed to have something for everyone, tune into a series of live streams on <a href="https://mixer.com/SeaOfThieves" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mixer</a>, <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/seaofthieves" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitch</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/SeaOfThieves" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">YouTube</a> where we’ll share more details, insights and glimpses from behind the scenes on the run-up to April 30:
