Rare plans to introduce subscription-funded custom servers to Sea of Thieves in 2026, offering exclusive tools like a cinematic camera for trailer creation.
Paid servers are set to launch early next year with details about the monthly fee still pending.
Future updates include restructuring Seasons 17 onwards with a focus on revamping the game's sandbox and enhancing live events in subsequent months.
Season 18 will update the game's Devil's Roar area and continue the narrative of the Dark Ancients, as revealed by Sea of Thieves Production Director Drew Stevens.
