Play Your Way
The Sea of Thieves is whatever you make of it, and there’s no ‘right way’ to be a pirate. Whether you’re a fighter, musician, stormchaser, prankster, mentor or someone who just really likes explosions, there’s always fun to be found on the waves.
Tools Not Rules
Achieve your aims however you choose in this vast sandbox. Launch yourself out of a cannon to save on legwork, use a crafty barrel disguise to spring an ambush, harpoon your Rowboat to a Megalodon for a burst of speed – the possibilities are endless!
Be a Pirate Captain
Once you find your sea legs, you’ll likely begin to dream of Captaincy! Purchasing your own Captained ship allows you to name and decorate your vessel, unlock shipwright perks, sell loot via the Sovereigns and work towards Milestones for new rewards.
Make the Game
Your Own
Creative community members are constantly finding new ways to tell their stories on the Sea of Thieves, having their pirates take part in everything from dramatic performances and seafaring game shows to epic tournament battles and legendary races.
Many other players use the game as a foundation for real-world creativity, covering shanties, crafting items with in-game inspiration and taking part in regular contests on social media. Budding content creators can also apply to the Creator Crew!
Shared Adventures
Whether you’re uncertain how to tackle a fresh challenge introduced in the latest Season or you’d like the inside scoop on tactics used by some of the most dedicated pirates out there, the easiest way to learn is to watch them in action!
Of all Sea of Thieves’ popular streamers, many are signed up to the official Partner Programme and all bring their own unique style to the seas. We regularly help them celebrate with Twitch Drops too, gifting in-game items to players who tune in.
