With custom seas firmly in the hold, the deckhands at Rare have been hard at work on Sea of Thieves Update 21, which is now available alongside some detailed patch notes and a lovely trailer, in case you missed it.

Check it out below!

Season 21 is now live, and it brings with it a host of improvements and additions, from being able to save Custom Seas layouts, a new Season Pass with a ‘Fate’s Light’ Lantern reward to help you make important decisions. It’s also taking the opportunity to celebrate ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’ with a new ‘Parley’ flag to let crews know you’re up for a chat.

Per Rare, ‘Season 21 is all about living in the moment – and enjoying the multitude of live events lined up.” You can check out the full patch notes below.

Sea of Thieves Update 21 Patch Notes:

Custom Seas

The free customisation toolset introduced in Season 20 expands with new options and additions! For more info on everything else taking place this Season, head over to our dedicated Season 21 page.

Saving Layouts

• Custom Seas now provides the ability for creators to save items placed in the world in the form of Layouts, allowing quicker access to custom-built experiences between sessions.
• Once items are placed, a Layout can be saved by selecting ‘Save Layout’ from the Game Options and then naming it or overwriting an old Layout.
• When starting a custom session, creators can load a Layout by using ‘Open Layout’ from the Command Menu to place the saved items.
• Within the Game Options, creators can ‘Reset to Last Loaded Layout’ to return to a previously saved state or ‘Remove Layout’ to quickly remove any placed items.
• Each Location can support 30 Layouts, and Layouts can be deleted from the Game Options menu.

New Commands and Quick Commands

• Set Time Speed – This command controls how quickly time passes in the world, supporting Stopped, Slow, Normal and Fast world times.
• Edit Silver – This command allows Session Owners to manually adjust silver for individual players or crews during a session.

Command Improvements

• Spawn Treasures – Players now have access to an ‘Adventures’ category, providing a range of Quest Items and treasures featured in past Sea of Thieves Adventures.
• Spawn Treasures – Within Crates and Commodities, creators now have access to a range of Firework Crates stocked with an assortment of fireworks.
• Fast Travel has been improved with a new option to send multiple selected players back to their assigned ships in a single action.

New Switches

• Display Ships on the Map Table – Ships can now be shown as anonymous markers or fully identified by ship type and crew iconography.
• Allow Regain Health – Session Owners can now disable health regeneration, preventing players from recovering health through food and other healing effects. When disabled, players returning from the Ferry of the Damned will return with full health.
• Ship Damage – These switches allow creators to control whether different parts of the ship can receive damage during a session, and grant fine-grained control over flooding and fire damage.

Switch Improvements

• Custom Ship Supplies – Session Owners can now select ‘None’ when deciding on ship supplies, allowing ships to hold empty Resource Barrels at the start of a session.
