<![CDATA[Increasing the Maximum FOV in Sea of Thieves]]>

Hi Rare,

I’d like to ask why the maximum FOV in Sea of Thieves is limited to 90. In games with a similar perspective, it’s common to have the option to set FOV to higher values, such as 100–120, which improves spatial awareness and helps prevent motion sickness.

A higher FOV would benefit players with larger monitors and ultrawide displays, and it would also make the experience fairer across all platforms. Do you plan to add this option in the future?

Thank you for your response.

Best regards, slechtic.

The ability to modify FoV beyond the in-game limits was never intentional and has been removed in order to restore the intended settings of Sea of Thieves.

The game is designed for 90 FoV Maximum, anything beyond that looks distorted and broken.

There are no intentions to change this in future.

@mslechtic15

I already explained this to you in your other thread - https://www.seaofthieves.com/community/forums/topic/176953/why-sea-of-thieves-is-dying/240

  1. SoT was built around 90fov. Anything above is not allowed/bannable + it anyways looks worse (according to footage of people that used 3rd party software for this). You can list 100+ more games it doesn't matter at all, for the reason mentioned.
  2. You thinking/feeling, or someone else thinking/feeling about higher FoV, again doesn't matter cause of the above reasons

@mslechtic15 the question has been asked multiple times before and the answer is no, they have no plans to change the FoV in the future, as no doubt mods will mention in their reply once they close this topic.
