Sea of Thieves: March 2025 Highlights & Celebrating the 7th Anniversary

This month in the Microsoft Casual Games collection, you can almost feel the salt in the air! Players are about to embark on an exciting journey as the world of Sea of Thieves comes to the Solitaire table. With a new themed backdrop and custom card designs featuring iconic imagery from the game, the pirate’s life is just a deal away.

As the echo of the Seventh Anniversary Celebration fades, the excitement ramps up with Season 15’s Community Weekend, running from Saturday, March 22nd through Monday, the 24th. Fans can dive into a sea of familiar festivities like Community Emissary Grade boosts, Pop-Up Plunder, and even free souvenirs. Plus, join in on creating and sharing stories and snapshots on the Picture Walls with fellow Sea of Thieves enthusiasts.

Setting sail during the Community Weekend brings its own treasure of rewards. Keep an eye out for the Seasoned Sailor Heavy Sword and Eye of Reach, as well as the Eastern Winds Ruby Pegleg and Trousers. All you have to do is link your accounts, tune into your favorite participating Sea of Thieves streamer on Twitch, and watch them in action to snag these goodies. Don’t forget to enable Drops if you’re streaming, or explore our Partner Directory to find who’s online when these rewards go live.

March promises even more excitement with a free content update dropping on the 27th. The seas will teem with new features as hunters get their hands on the hunting spear, perfect for taking down large prey. Meanwhile, as you navigate the lively world, watch for lizards dashing across the sands and jellyfish floating among the waves. The Pirate Emporium will also have fresh and dazzling items, not to mention new stock arriving at Outposts. Detailed release notes will be available when the update launches on March 27th.
