Sea of Thieves Patch Released, New Cosmetics Teased

Rare has a new Sea of Thieves patch out after the weekly scheduled downtime with a few updates and some new loot being teased.

In addition to the weekly patch notes, Rare also included in the image above along with a teaser for some new cosmetics and loot that aren't far away.

"There's rumour that a new shipment of clothing, items, weapons and ship customisations are on the horizon and heading for the Sea of Thieves!" Rare teased in the patch notes. "If you are saving yer coin for a pair of trousers, you might want to keep a weathered eye out for this arriving soon!"

Until that new loot has been officially revealed, Sea of Thieves players will have to make due with the latest patch that's detailed below. Workarounds for individual issues can be found through the patch notes discussion.
