Now, what is obviously the most important part of the Ships Of Fortune update is that cats are available to buy as pets. These are part of the game’s premium store, the Pirate Emporium, where you’ll find a selection of fine felines to purchase.
If updates to actual gameplay are more your thing, then you’ll probably take more interest inthe new revive system. If you get killed, you’ll now enter a downed state for a short period of time where your crew are able to revive you. Good for fast-paced ship battles, bad for teammates who decide to cannon themselves off to the other side of an island then fall off a cliff.
There are big changes to the Arena, too. Now, rather than crews having to find multiple chests and battle it out to hand them in, there’ll only be one chest that spawns on a central island. Match times have been shortened as well, and it’s all to make the games more fast-paced and focused than they were before.

Sea Of Thieves already has plenty in store for the future, too. Rare announced a few weeks back thatthe game is coming to Steamat some point, and there’ll even be crossplay with folks that play on Xbox and the Microsoft Store. There’s also a helpful update on the way for Tall Tales sometime soon as well.
As you may have experienced, it’s a bit of a pain in the ass if a hostile crew decides they want to sink your ship while you’re trying to do a Tall Tale, as this usually ends up in you losing quest items you needed to complete it (the RPS vidbuds nearly had this exact thing happen to them in the video above). But talking toEurogamer, Rare said they have plans to introduce checkpoints into the Tales to help stop this very thing from happening.
“The checkpoint is like an open book, and at any point you can leave the game, come back, vote on that open book, and you’ll be able to pick up your checkpoint right from that point,” they said. “And any physical items you had with you at that point in the tale… would pop back in on the table. So it both protects you against a loss of the items, but it also allows you to play in smaller chunks of play.”
