Sea of Thieves' Season One update is finally here, adding big changes, new cosmetics, the Plunder Pass, a 120 Hz mode and more. While most of the tweaks amount to small bug fixes, your first quest for Renown should still start off from a more solid place.

As expected, the bulk of the Sea of Thieves Season One update is focused on the new additions to the game for its first official season. These include the paid Plunder Pass with 11 unique cosmetics, the free Renown progression system with 100 levels to climb and the addition of Trials to aid in said climb. Simply put, Sea of Thieves is becoming more similar to the other serviced-based games and battle royales you might already be playing.<\/p>\n
Rare's iteration on the format, however, seems to offer players a lot at no additional cost. Still, there are paid rewards for those who wish to spend the extra $10 in Ancient Coins. The cosmetics are aplenty, but it should be noted that all Plunder Pass items will eventually make their way to the Emporium. In other words, if there's only one Plunder skin that you like, it may be smarter to buy that as its own item down the line rather than investing in the Plunder Pass upfront.<\/p>\n
The Season One update also includes few noteworthy features we weren't expecting. Perhaps the most interesting item on the list is the 120 Hz mode tailored to those taking to the high seas on Xbox Series X. While we would've liked to see support for the Series S as well, it'll still be interesting to experience Sea of Thieves at such high framerates.<\/p>\n
We're also pretty happy with the updated communication guidelines too, as anything that removes toxicity from the community is well worth implementing. While most of the minor adjustments in Sea of Thieves' latest update amount to bug fixes, Rare has snuck in some cool surprises to kick off Season One.<\/p>\n
Sea of Thieves is available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC.<\/p>\n
