Sea of Thieves
Big Ship, Little Ship
Thursday, August 20, 2026 · 10:00 AM – Monday, August 24, 2026 · 10:00 AM UTC
A slightly more unusual calendar entry, this one – Big Ship, Little Ship is a new, temporary approach to how we populate game servers. During this time-limited trial, any crew setting sail on a Sloop will only share the seas only with other Sloop crews, while Galleon and Brigantine crews are grouped together on ‘Big Ship’ servers. As a result, you’ll find you only encounter vessels and crews of a similar size and strength to your own.
We’ll be keeping an eye on how these changes impact crew interactions, so be sure to set sail and see what effect it has on your own adventures!
