Whats the chance they add in 120 fov as an option for players, from my understanding some systems are incapable of running the 120 fov but idk if thats their reason, if anybody knows if its definitely not happening lmk and if anyone knows the reason, lmk
120 FOV and its chance of coming back.
120 FoV was never actually implemented and was only engaged by way of users altering game files. (A ToS violation.) As such, it was never added nor was it an intended feature. This is why that particular file has been locked away even in the Steam files. So with that stated, it is possible to say with near to complete certainty that it will not resurface.

Can I ask why it will not be considered to be added as an option for all platforms?
As far as I understand it, the only possible downside would be that we would lose a few frames per second if we chose to increase it.
Both of those questions are best asked to our support team here as I do not personally have those answers unfortunately.
@taco7376 the best source is Aerotsune, as he is a Rare employee, or indeed J0toro, who has been clear on it before as well:
https://www.seaofthieves.com/community/forums/topic/145437/the-problem-with-the-fov-please-rare-you-have-to-make-up-your-own-mind/47"SoT's design was for 90 FoV. We removed the ability to up it any further as tampering with game files goes against Microsoft's ToS and it undermines the game design. There are no plans to reverse this decision."
Dropping anchor as 120FoV was never added. We removed the ability to break ToS where action can and will be taken against your account. We have no intention of ever introducing 120 FoV as it would ruin the design aesthetic of the game. Any further questions can be directed to our Support team linked above but closing this down as the answer has been given.
