Ahoy, fellow gamers! Xbox has delighted us with a surprise drop of treasure for all Sea of Thieves enthusiasts. Let me introduce you to the Sea of Thieves: X Edition, a delightful surprise exclusively available on Xbox platforms.
This 2025 Edition is a treasure trove, bundling together all previously released content with a fantastic array of Xbox-themed ship sets, costumes, and cosmetics. It’s a vibrant celebration of beloved Xbox franchises like Ori, Gears, and Halo, among others.
The launch trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of these eye-catching designs. From ships adorned with motifs of iconic Xbox titles to costumes that would make any pirate proud, there’s something for every fan and collector. However, brace yourselves for the cost—it’s enough to make even the most hardened pirate raise an eyebrow. Clearly, Microsoft has been spending too much time counting coins with Blizzard.
For Xbox Game Pass subscribers, the full bounty is priced at $63.99, but if you’re not a subscriber, you’ll need to part with $79.99. Quite a leap, isn’t it?
Luckily, there’s a silver lining. Individual packs are available via the in-game Pirate Emporium, allowing gamers to mix and match to their heart’s content. We’re on a mission to crunch the numbers and find the best deals. Meanwhile, here’s an overview of what you can expect from the 2025 Sea of Thieves editions:
2025 Deluxe Edition includes:
- Parrot Clothing Bundle
- 10,000 Gold
- Dire Dark Warsmith weapon bundle
2025 Premium Edition offers the same, plus:
- Dire Dark Warsmith Ship collection and ship’s crest
- Dire Dark Warsmith costume set
- 1000 ancient coins
Exclusive to Xbox, the Sea of Thieves X Edition features everything from the Premium and Deluxe editions, with the addition of:
- An Xbox-inspired ship collection
- Regal Duke ship collection
If you decide to purchase any version of Sea of Thieves—even just the base edition—you’ll receive some extra goodies, including the Athena’s Fortune Audiobook, the Sea of Thieves Original Soundtrack, and an extensive guide to help you navigate the seas.
Whether you’re a seasoned swashbuckler or a newcomer setting sail on your first adventure, this mountain of content adds substantial weight to the game. Now, it’s time to assess whether these individual packs truly offer value for their weight in gold. Stay tuned as we dive into the details and help you decide if that hefty price tag is worth the plunge.
