Sea of ​​Thieves can now run at 120 FPS on Xbox Series X

The first season of Sea of ​​Thieves officially started and with it comes a new 120 Hz performance mode on the Xbox Series X that supports 120 FPS at 1080p. As detailed in the release notes for this major update for the first season, it also notes that some TVs do not support 120 Hz and HDR simultaneously, so HDR may need to be disabled in the console settings if players want to sail the seas with 120 FPS.

The seasons mark a new initiative for Sea of ​​Thieves, which will see new content added to the game every three months. In addition, a battle pass system has been implemented that will reward players throughout each season.

Each season will have players progressing through 100 levels of Pirate Renown, and rewards for the player’s pirate character and ship can be unlocked. In addition, those who have achieved the title of Pirate Legend will receive specialized rewards as part of this new progression system.

An optional premium level of the battle pass – titled ‘Plunder Pass’ – will be available and will offer even more exclusive rewards and exclusive items from the Pirate Emporium.

This 120 Hz update is just another improvement on Sea of ​​Thieves after the arrival of Xbox Series X / S optimizations that arrived in November 2020 and added faster load times and 60 FPS for the Xbox Series X / S and 4K for the Xbox Series X.
