Ahoy, fellow gamers! This month, Microsoft’s Casual Games are getting a splash of the pirate’s life. Imagine your Solitaire game table set against a Sea of Thieves-inspired backdrop, complete with themed card backs showcasing iconic elements from this legendary pirate adventure.

Coming right on the heels of the Seventh Anniversary Celebration, we’re diving into Season 15’s Community Weekend from Saturday, March 22nd to Monday, March 24th. It’s packed with all the fan-favorites—think souvenir giveaways, the exciting Pop-Up Plunder, a Community Emissary Grade just waiting for a boost, and Picture Walls perfect for your piratical poses. As you join the festivities, share your stories and creations with the Sea of Thieves community!

And if you’re embarking on this weekend adventure, remember that Twitch Drops are on offer from March 22nd through the 24th as well.

Mark your calendars for March 27th, because that’s when another free content update sets sail, ushering in more features for Season 15. New to our adventurous arsenal is the hunting spear, perfect for tracking down sizeable catches. Plus, expect some lively intruders like skittering lizards and jellyfish floating through the seas. There’s fresh Pirate Emporium loot and Outpost stock, too, all detailed in the update’s release notes.
