Sea of Thieves the co-op pirate adventure title from Rare has just received a new patch. The patch is set to address the infinite black screen problem that has been plaguing gamers since the release of update 1.0.8.

  • Immersive action and adventure from a first-person perspective
  • Sail solo or join a crew of up to three other players to experience true co-operative gameplay
  • Encounter other crews of real players in a vast, fantastical shared world filled with unspoiled islands, mythical monsters and mouth-watering loot
  • Supports Xbox Play Anywhere and cross-platform play (including cross-saves between Xbox One and Windows 10)

Sea of Thieves is out now for PC and Xbox One.
