Originally Published 6 months ago — by Video Games Chronicle
Rare announced that paid custom servers will be added to Sea of Thieves in early 2026, offering exclusive tools and requiring a monthly fee. The game's season model will also be updated to include three distinct goals over three months, aiming to boost engagement. This comes amid recent layoffs at Rare following the cancellation of the in-development game Everwild, with key veterans like Gregg Mayles and Louise O’Connor leaving the company.
