The swashbuckling pirate adventure Sea of Thieves is set to drop a fresh update, titled 'Custom Seas', on June 18th as a free download.

In what the developers are calling the 'Season 20 Custom Seas' update, the core appeal lies in letting players curate their own nautical escapades. By utilising a level editor, you can craft bespoke modes ranging from sniper duels to naval skirmishes. It is even possible to stage cinematic pirate set-pieces or simply build a private sandbox to hang out with your mates.

It is not just about building your own bespoke playground; you can also dive into the creative madness cooked up by other players, sharing and experiencing a wealth of user-generated content.

Since its initial launch back in 2018, Sea of Thieves has demonstrated remarkable longevity, consistently expanding its player base through a steady stream of updates.
