Sea of Thieves Season 20

Sea of Thieves
Season 20

A new Season arrives, presenting a free and feature-packed toolset that empowers you to create your very own ways to play Sea of Thieves!

New Features in Season 20

Season 20 is all about putting the power in players’ hands. Custom Seas introduces a suite of tools that enable you to bring your own Sea of Thieves game ideas to life, setting up unique modes to challenge your crewmates and create content in ways that previously wouldn’t have been possible. Alongside this, a shake-up of the Seasonal rewards structure promises clearer, more reliable ways of ensuring your time on the seas always feels valuable!

Custom

Seas

Within Custom Seas, each player is the master of their own fate. Through an array of menus and switches, Session Owners can adjust the world around them to create entirely new ways of playing the game and bringing their friends together to face bespoke challenges. Whether it’s setting up crews, spawning in foes to fight or fast travelling across the map in the blink of an eye, Custom Seas puts you at the helm of your own adventure in all aspects of play.

Track Your Progress This Season

While Season 20 does not follow previous Seasons’ Act structure, there are still Seasonal Deeds themed around Custom Seas to be completed! Check them off to earn a bump in Seasonal Renown (awarded when you return to High Seas) and the ‘Legendary Beginnings’ Painting, and complete them all to unlock the Custom Crafter Sails to commemorate your accomplishments.

Changes to

Seasonal Rewards

Season 20 also introduces changes to how you earn rewards during your adventures. The actions that award Seasonal Renown have been made clearer, with a focus on active participation in the game rather than passive sources.

At the same time, the former 100 levels of Renown are being condensed to 50, split across 10 tiers, each tier giving you the opportunity to pick up Doubloons, Voyages and a Cosmetic Choice offering one of three Pirate Emporium items to keep. At the end of the track waits the Star Prize, a carefully crafted cosmetic unlike any other…

Boost Your Seasonal Progress

We understand that even the most dedicated pirates don’t always have as much time to spend earning rewards as they might like, which is why it’s now possible to purchase Season Pass levels. These make it easier to reach maximum Renown before a Season ends, and to speed your journey towards the Star Prize! But we also want to ensure that players still take time to experience Season 20 and savour a sense of natural progression, so purchasable Season Pass levels are limited to a maximum of 10 per Season.

Stay on the cutting edge of pirate style by visiting the Pirate Emporium! As new arrivals come in every month – ship liveries, weapons, pets, costumes, emotes and more – there’s plenty to pick up with your Ancient Coins.
