Sea of Thieves 2.8.1 patch notes: Welcome Port Merrick, refreshed Pirate Emporium, gameplay improvements and more
With the Sea of Thieves Season 9 well on its way, the developers at Rare have pushed another update for the game. Patch 2.8.1 deals with a variety of gameplay tweaks, including Ghost Fleet encounter balancing, Ashen Voyage availability, banning the ability to bypass the purchase limit at the shipwright, improvements to Captains features, and more.
The recent update also sees the Pirate Emporium be refreshed for the countless swashbuckling buccaneers to better dress their characters. The Sawbones Ship Collection, Clothing and Weapon bundles are available to be purchased by players.
The official Sea of Thieves Twitter handle also revealed that the transformation of the New Golden Sands Outpost into Port Merrick is now complete. The location houses "a fancy fountain" and a "not-so-mysterious statue." The fate of the outpost was decided back in June of last year when players were given the option of either choosing to save the outpost or destroy it.
Without further ado, here are the official patch notes for update 2.8.1 in Sea of Thieves.
