Season 8 of Sea of Thieves has charted its course and its now available on Xbox.

It’s time to pick a side as players can now take each other on in ship to ship PVP combat. Once you’ve pledged your allegiance through the Hourglass of Fortune, you can then ‘opt-in’ for rival faction warfare.

This update lets you fight against one another for rich and exclusive rewards on demand. But be wary because the better you do, the more at risk you are at being targeted by others.

This also includes PvP focused milestones for Captains as well as some brand new Achievements for you to unlock.

100 new levels have also been added to get featuring free rewards with the Plunder Pass available as an additional purchase.

Sea of Thieves Season 8 is out now across Xbox and Windows 10/11
