  • Captain's Week: All of the above adjustments are permanent additions and will be introduced in June with a special Captain's Week event. During this event, you can earn cosmetic rewards and enjoy a gold multiplier when playing on captain ships.
  • Gilded Sovereign Captain's Table: As a recognition for high-ranking captains, the developers are awarding an exclusive cosmetic, the Gilded Sovereign Captain's Table, to every player who achieves certain pirate milestones before the start of Captain's Week in June.

The developers of Sea of Thieves are informing you in advance of these changes so that you can plan your adventures and spending accordingly at the outposts! Get ready for an even better pirate captain experience and dive into the adventure on the high seas.
