Sea of Thieves is one of my favorite multiplayer games because I love pirates. I always have a good time sailing alone or with friends. However, I can’t stand putting in hours of work only to have another crew show up, sink my ship, and steal all my loot. Fortunately, Rare has announced Safer Seas, allowing players to enjoy Sea of Thieves without being interrupted by other pirates. But this leaves the question of when Safer Seas will be added to Sea of Thieves.
When is Safer Seas coming to Sea of Thieves?
No official date has been given for Safer Seas other than December 2023. While Season 10 and Guilds were released on October 19, 2023, Sea of Thieves fans will have to wait longer for Safer Seas to be added. I suspect Safer Seas will be released on Thursday, since Sea of Thieves updates usually release on Thursday. These are the dates I think Safer Seas could launch in Sea of Thieves.

What are safer seas in Sea of Thieves?
Safer Seas in Sea of Thieves acts as private servers, allowing up to four players to navigate together. There are no other players in the world when you join Safer Seas unless you invite them; You can safely enjoy everything Safer Seas has to offer without worrying about other pirates attacking and stealing your loot.
It is important to point out Safer Seas has some restrictions or limitations compared to normal seas. Most of this comes down to reduced gold drop rates, reputation, renown, and more. These are the key features of Safer Seas in Sea of Thieves.
- Progress to level 40 in all trading companies except Reaper’s Bones and Athena’s Fortune.
- Earn Gold and Reputation at a reduced price.
- Earn Seasonal Renown at the same rate as on the High Seas.
- Play all Tall Tales alone or with your friends.
- Work toward all applicable accolades and achievements.
- Buy cosmetics at Outpost and Seapost stores.
- Invite any Xbox Live friend to your session.
