Microsoft and Rare have released a new major patch for Sea of Thieves. This patch will update the game’s version to 1.1.0 and comes with new free content, as well as CPU performance improvements and new customization options.
Going into more details, the new free content – called The Hungering Deep – campaign offers players a new adventure where they will unravel the mystery of the monstrous Megalodon, a new AI threat that players will be working together to defeat. Rare has provided new tools to help you accomplish this feat – the speaking trumpet and a flag system – each offering a new way to communicate with other players on the high seas, alongside a new instrument in the Drum, which will form a key part of uncovering the secrets of the Megalodon.
The Hungering Deep update is available without charge to all Sea of Thieves players PC, or who have access to it as part of Xbox Game Pass and below you can find the changelog for this new patch.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
