Sea of Thieves: March 2025 Highlights and Seventh Anniversary Celebration

As the month sails in, a fresh breeze brings an exciting update to Microsoft Casual Games. If you’ve ever fancied living the pirate’s life, your Solitaire game is about to get a buccaneering upgrade. This month, players can dive into the world of Sea of Thieves with a new themed backdrop and uniquely designed card backs featuring iconic imagery from the game.

Hot off the heels of the Seventh Anniversary Celebration, we’re sailing headlong into the Season 15 Community Weekend from March 22nd to 24th. It’s set to be a fun-filled event featuring all the usual community perks. Expect to snag some cool souvenirs, partake in Pop-Up Plunder, boost your Community Emissary Grade, and strike a pose at the Picture Walls. We’re buzzing to see all your creative contributions and hear tales from the Sea of Thieves community as you join in the festivities!

Don’t miss out during this Community Weekend if you’re cruising the seas. Be sure to grab some well-deserved Twitch Drops, including the Seasoned Sailor Heavy Sword and Eye of Reach, and take home the charming Eastern Winds Ruby Pegleg and Trousers. Get rewarded by linking your accounts and tuning into any participating Sea of Thieves streamer on Twitch. Whether you’re a streamer or a dedicated viewer, make sure Drops are enabled and check our Partner Directory to see who’s live when the Drops go live!

March also promises more exciting adventures with the free content update arriving on the 27th. As part of the Season 15 expansion, hunters will find a new ally in the hunting spear, perfect for tackling large prey. Meanwhile, skittering lizards and drifting jellyfish bring new life to the waters. Plus, check out fresh treasures in the Pirate Emporium and the latest offerings at Outposts. Keep your eyes peeled for a comprehensive update when it all launches at the end of March.

For those with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, there’s a special treat to snap up this month. As part of the Perks program, you can grab the Seventh Serving Emote, celebrating Sea of Thieves’ latest anniversary. Mark your calendar for March 27th, and don’t miss this exclusive addition!
