April Brings Southern Tales, Swashbuckling Sales & Stylish Staches to Sea of Thieves

April is shaping up to be an event-packed month for pirates across the seas, with new cosmetics, community events, and login bonuses surfacing like treasure on the horizon. Whether you're hoisting sails for gold or just showing off your latest flair, there's plenty to look forward to.

A hauntingly beautiful tale is making its way to Xbox Game Pass this month, brought to life by the talented team at Compulsion. To mark the arrival of this narrative-rich experience, Sea of Thieves is offering a striking new sail set as a login bonus between April 8th and 15th. And for those sailing under the banner of the X Edition on Xbox platforms, there’s a unique light-variant of these sails waiting in the wind.

If you’ve got Ancient Coins stashed away, you might want to chart a course toward the Pirate Emporium between April 16th and 22nd. Expect discounts across a range of items—whether you’re dressing up your pirate or adding personality to your pets. (Pro tip: pigs are especially charming this season.)

Running from April 17th to 24th, a special Mega Stashes event brings more than just buried loot—it brings style. Yes, a truly epic mustache cosmetic is part of the plunder, and while it might’ve started as a joke among the crew, it’s now a glorious in-game reality. Peak Sea of Thieves energy.

On April 24th, a fresh update drops anchor with new Voyages to explore, alongside classic login bonuses like gold and a Voyage of Luck.

Then from April 25th to 28th, Twitch Drops return! Watching your favorite streamers could earn you cosmetics like the Seasoned Sailor Rapier, Stalwart Sea Dog Cutlass, Stormy Sea Dog Bucket, and the ever-stylish Rising Morningstar Eyepatch—a community favorite that’s making a proper debut.

As April fades into May, even more content is on the horizon.
