Sea of Thieves<\/a> is set to add one of its most significant updates yet: solo play.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Ever since Rare\u2019s multiplayer-focused pirate adventure game launched in 2018, the developers have faced questions about the addition of solo play. Now, it\u2019s finally coming as part of Season 10 in December. Finally, you won\u2019t have to worry about rival pirates stealing your hard-earned treasure!<\/p>\n

In a post on Xbox Wire<\/a>, creative director Mike Chapman explained the decision. \u201cJust as we hope that the Skull of Siren Song will encourage competitive play, we recognize that for some players, a quieter, more independent experience can be preferable,\u201d Chapman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why, in December, Season 10\u2019s third major feature will introduce an entirely new game mode that grants players the ability to sail the Sea of Thieves alone or with a crew of friends, within their own private game session.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Solo play comes as part of the Safer Seas feature. It\u2019s intended to offer a \u201cgentler\u201d introduction to Sea of Thieves for new players, as well as a quieter map for existing players who want to play their own solo adventures.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re hoping to get some peaceful fishing done, or complete a few Tall Tales without interference, Safer Seas is the perfect choice,\u201d Chapman continued. \u201cAll applicable Commendations can be progressed in this game mode, so there\u2019s a lot to work towards without needing to keep an eye on the horizon for enemy players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Season Ten will also introduce a way to enjoy Sea of Thieves at your own pace with Safer Seas. While rewards will be reduced and certain features inaccessible, you’ll be able to enjoy a wealth of pirate fun, sailing alone or with a crew of your friends in a private game session. pic.twitter.com\/kqg1TQlzos<\/a><\/p>\n
