Sea of Thieves is getting custom servers in 2026

In simpler terms, Sea of Thieves by Rare is making a significant change to shake up its usual gameplay and address a recurring player demand. Starting in 2026, custom servers will be introduced to Sea of Thieves. Along this journey, Rare plans to revamp their seasons with fresh content and subscription options that eventually encompass the custom server feature.

In a recent community update, Rare outlined their plans for revamping Sea of Thieves’ seasonal structure and introducing custom servers. The team aims to release custom servers by 2026, but emphasizes that there is still work to be done in order to ensure they are not only operational but also sustainable over time.

In a change to keep things exciting, the Sea of Thieves team is revamping their seasonal structure because they’ve noticed player engagement has been slowing down as it stands. The seasonal crew is actively working to offer players an enhanced mix of “sandbox elements and world-building,” live events, lore details, and returning/revamped features from past seasons.

Moving forward, Seas of Thieves remains a significant focus for developer Rare, following the cancellation of Everwild during Microsoft’s recent workforce reductions. Keep an eye out for news regarding new content, subscriptions, and custom servers in Sea of Thieves, as we will continue to provide updates on this exciting pirate adventure right here at Shacknews.
