Official announcement for Sea of Thieves from Xbox Game Studios, published on Steam on October 7, 2026.
The nights are drawing in and it’s been a little while since we last scanned what’s on the horizon, so it’s time for a fresh This Month in Sea of Thieves article! If you’ve already taken a glance at how long this article is, you’ll know that October’s set to be non-stop from start to finish, so let’s get right to it and uncover what you can expect to see on the seas this month.
Sea of Thieves Sail Design Competition – Until Friday, October 23rd
Budding shipwrights should be reaching for their pencils right about now – if they want to be in with a chance of seeing their sail design realised in-game, that is. From now until October 23rd, we’re inviting pirates to share their best and boldest designs for a set of sails with us on social media under the #SoTSailDesignComp tag. The top three designs as decided by our Art team will be put up in a public poll, and the ultimate winner of that round will find itself in-game as part of our next anniversary celebrations in March!
You can find a template image, terms and conditions and all the other relevant details in our (https://www.seaofthieves.com/news/sail-design-competition) – give it a read now if you want to put your own artistic skills to the test!
Fight Nights – Every Tuesday
If the return of Last Ship Standing didn’t quell your urge to blow bits off each other’s ships, then Fight Nights is the Event for you. Each Tuesday that Last Ship Standing isn’t active, both Factions will be offering increased Allegiance and gold earnings from all Faction Battles you fight. If you’re chasing your next reward – perhaps one of the legendary Curses – then Fight Nights is your best chance to get ahead of the competition.
Emissaries of Fortune – Every Wednesday
