    It is possible that there is no other update since it seems that the version number is the same as last week:

  • This is correct in that the newly announced Scale Test for this weekend is the exact same build as the previous Scale Test, and will include only the content from that build.

    It is very important to note that this is not a Beta, nor does the content reflect all of what will be seen at launch later this month. The Scale Test is to test server stability, issues, and generate as high of a concurrent player count as possible, while also allowing players a chance to test some of the basic aspects of the game.

  • Oh yesss! And what a timing! Bad weather conditions with snow...perfect for stayin home and sail in the tropical sun of my preferred seas! 👍👏

  • You guys are the flipping best

  • @mcsinker Yep we're forecast another dose of the white stuff tomoz. 10am GMT gonna turn up the heating close the curtains and crack open that bottle of Rum I was saving for the Beta/Launch. It will be totally tropical!

  • @dunk-maestro Confirmed ;)

  • Excellent! I've got the day off tomorrow! (totally not related to this news ;)

  • @uvg-reign I'll practice with ye!!

  • @knightx13 - I follow a few different forums and subreddits for Sea of Thieves and with the previous scale test I saw that there were many people saying that without new content that they would rather just wait for the full game to be released, which effectively reduces the possible maximum player pool to test with, which makes the scale test less effective than intended. Why not release a few more features to re-capture the player-base and have a more appropriate scale test?

    You should totally get more info and links to some of that, and then post a new thread about the topic. I bet if they see that before the test, they MIGHT add a surprise for us? idk, but it's worth a shot.
