At the recent Xbox Games Showcase, Rare announced an upcoming free update for Sea of Thieves titled 'Custom Seas', set to launch on June 18. This update will empower players to create their own game modes and spawn various objects, reminiscent of features found in games like Fortnite and Roblox. Among the creative modes introduced are 'Rowboat Royale', a deathmatch played on small rowboats, and 'Skeleton Snipe Hunt', a competitive sharpshooting game. Additionally, players will have the opportunity to create dedicated spaces to socialize without the threat of PvP or monster attacks, building on the existing PvE experience offered by the Safer Seas update. The update will also include new machinima tools, allowing players to craft cinematic experiences on the high seas. This move continues Rare's trend of enhancing customization within the game, appealing to a broader audience of casual players.
