Sail as Captains of Adventure in Sea of Thieves Season Seven

First unveiled as part of this summer’s Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase – via a jaunty musical number, no less – the seventh Sea of Thieves The arrival of Captaincy is the first sign that Season has arrived! As one of the features most anticipated by our community, we’re excited to give players the chance to name their ships for the first time, try out a wealth of new decorative choices, and dive into the Captain’s Logbook to review their accomplishments across the waves.

If you’ve been itching to carve a maritime moniker into a Ship’s Crest and set sail as a Captain, you’ll be glad to know that Season Seven is now available as a free update for all players with Xbox Game Pass, across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10/11 PC, and Steam.

Season Seven, like all previous seasons, offers 100 levels free of charge for all Sea of ThievesPlayers will receive summer-themed cosmetics as well as other goodies, while you earn Renown and live your pirate lifestyle. You can also get the Plunder Pass, which allows you to unlock more exclusive items that are not available anywhere else. You can learn more about seasons and the Plunder Pass Explained article.

Captain on Deck

Is there something that could inspire pirates to spend their hard earned money on a new ship? To begin with, Captains are able to bestow a name of their choice upon a new vessel for all to see, visible both on the Ship’s Crest or in Ship’s Banners when someone spies you at a distance.

Captains can also purchase a wealth of new decorative options for their quarters (ranging from rugs to the Captain’s Table itself), not to mention make the ship feel truly unique by picking out places to display trinkets. There are many ornaments available to buy right away. You may also be eligible for trophies by being a good captain. ConsummateCaptain and will show you how much time you spent at sea.

Whether you’re a dedicated treasure-taker, fishing fanatic, or simply can’t get enough of smashing skellies, your actions will be reflected in Pirate and Ship Milestones, a new form of progression that encourages different play styles. New rewards will become available along the way, and you can show off your favorite accomplishments in the Captain’s Logbook, which handily also keeps track of your current sailing session.

Sovereigns and Shipwrights

Outposts have the ability to accommodate Captained ships. For a fee, shipwrights will save the customization of a Captain’s vessel ready for future sessions, meaning it’ll be just as you remember it next time you wake up in the tavern. The scars and scratches from prior repairs can accumulate over time. Pirates may choose to have these repaired at the shipwright, returning even the most damaged ship to their original state.

A shipwright can deliver premium supplies on board a captain’s vessel. This courtesy extends to Captain’s Voyages, which are stored aboard ship rather than in your pirate’s pockets and let you influence the difficulty and duration of your next objective – so anything from a swift skeleton hunt to a lengthy, lucrative commission can be plucked straight from storage.

Eager to ensure the shipwrights don’t take all the glory, the swanky Sovereigns have arrived at Outposts ready to deal with Captains of all kinds. They are a great intermediary and accept most of the valuables on behalf of other companies. Captained ships can also make use of their facilities to offload their treasures.

Of course, you don’t need to be a Captain to enjoy the next installments of our ongoing, time-limited adventures. These continue on August 18 with ‘A Hunter’s Cry’, which sends pirates on a risky rescue mission into hostile waters in the hopes of saving the captured hunter Merrick.

Along with 100 levels of Seasonal Renown to reap, new commendations and achievements and the continuing intrigue of our first mystery, there’s plenty waiting in Season Seven for every pirate to sink their teeth into!

The Emporium expands

Each season is filled with new goodies. The Season Seven Plunder Pass offers advance access to the Baleful Bloom Costume – which sees your pirate gradually succumb to a horticultural hex – and the Beachcomber’s Bounty ship set, created by a marooned mariner who got themselves seaworthy with whatever they could lay their hands on. Once a pass has been purchased, these items cannot be unlocked by increasing your Renown or climbing the levels for the next season.

Keen to get in on the Captaincy fun, August’s Emporium offerings introduce additional designs for Ship’s Crests, lending extra flair to your newly named ship when anyone – crew, boarders, stowaways and so on – come aboard. If your chosen name no longer seems to fit as your ship carves out its legacy, Renaming Deeds can be purchased to scrub the Ship’s Crest clean and let you choose something new.

If you’re the kind of pirate who lights up dark places (and not with firebombs), the luminous Wrecker Wrangler ship set calls to you from the Emporium shelves this month, paying tribute to those flighty fish that call shipwrecks their home. You can also enjoy the boisterous Bilge Rat Weapon Emote or the extravagant Portable Portrait Emote Bundle, which will bring out both your egocentric and merry sides. And don’t forget to snare the Promising Portrait Emote while it’s free for the taking, then use it to turn any vista into a wobbly work of art!
