Sea of Thieves has announced the introduction of paid custom servers scheduled for 2026. Known as Custom Seas, this feature was unveiled during the game’s inaugural Community Direct. Players will have the ability to personalize their gaming experience using various toggle switches and commands to modify elements such as weather events, AI opponents, and even the presence of the Kraken. While exact details regarding pricing and launch dates remain unannounced, the anticipated announcement marks a significant addition to the multiplayer experience that Sea of Thieves offers.

Additionally, Rare has announced a change in how seasonal content will be delivered, transitioning to a staggered rollout rather than releasing all updates at once to keep the community engaged. Despite recent organizational changes within Microsoft, the development team continues to enhance gameplay stability and expand on new features, ensuring that Sea of Thieves remains an engaging multiplayer experience.
