Setting Sail with Sweet Treats & Selfies: A Look Back at the Latest Community Weekend in Sea of Thieves

The seas were buzzing with celebration as pirates across the globe came together for a recent Community Weekend that was nothing short of legendary. Whether you were battling it out as a bold Reaper, chilling at a picture wall for that perfect pirate selfie, or hunting down sugary secrets, there was something magical in the air (and online).

Let’s talk numbers first—nearly a million hours of Sea of Thieves content was watched during the event. That’s not just a drop in the ocean; that’s a tidal wave of pirate adventures being shared and enjoyed. From Twitch streams to YouTube highlights, it was clear the seas were alive with action.

One of the highlights? The Cake Hunt—a cheeky and delicious little adventure that had pirates across the seas on a sugary scavenger hunt. Those who solved the riddles were rewarded with some delightful new titles. If you were lucky (and curious), you might've uncovered the sweet-sounding Secret of Sweet Treats or the even more elusive Seeker of Secret Sweet Treats. Yes, they’re a mouthful—but aren’t the best desserts always a bit indulgent?

The in-game vibes were backed by a smooth experience across the board, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Live Ops team. From the seamless rollout of the event to the cheeky hidden website surprises, everything ran smoother than a sloop on calm waters.

And let’s not forget the visual spectacle. Social feeds were flooded with amazing screenshots—pirates posing at new picture spots, Reapers showing off their style (with just the right amount of menace), and even chatter about turning those cute little cakes into in-game trinkets. Pirate Instagram, basically.

Meanwhile, the crew at Rare made use of their shiny new streaming setup, offering a polished and cozy studio space that looks set to host even more live antics in the future. It's safe to say, things are only getting better behind the scenes—and on screen.

So, whether you joined for the fun, tuned in from the sidelines, or just logged in for cake—this latest Community Weekend proved once again that the Sea of Thieves community is as spirited, creative, and chaos-loving as ever.

Here’s to more events, more adventures, and maybe… more cake?
