With the arrival of Safer Seas on December 7, 2023, the regular mode players were accustomed to previously is now known as High Seas. There are extra differences between the two modes, so we've broken down everything you need to know about the different modes and restrictions right here.

What's The Difference Between High Seas And Safer Seas?

Safer Seas offers a mode where players can enjoy the game on a single crew server. This means they won't fall victim to other marauding players, though they'll still be threatened by NPCs, such as Skeleton Ships, Ghost Ships, Megalodons, and more.

Safer Seas allows players to enjoy the narrative and Tall Tales available in the game, as well as g🔯eneral gameplay, without being disturbed by others. However, there are some limitations in terms of available content.

High Seas is the other mode, which is essentially Sea of Thieves as we've always known it, where other players and crews are adventuring on the same server in a shared world.
