Why I am Worried About the New PvP Hourglass Mode

January 23, 2026 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves

One of the things announced alongside the removal of our doubloons was that, during part of season 19, sloop hourglass will be replaced with a 6 sloop free-for-all, where the last ship standing wins. I assume this will be in a separate area, and we were promised chaotic battles, but while this sounds good on paper, in practice, I have my concerns.

A Guide to Sometimes Running Away

January 7, 2026 Medic 0 Comments guide, run away!, sea of thieves

I’ll be honest, I don’t think running all the time will get you anywhere in Sea of Thieves. If you always run, then you never learn to fight. And that means, the second you get caught, you’re basically screwed. But there are definitely times where you NEED to run away. After all, I occasionally play solo, and I am definitely not skilled enough to take on a rank 5 reaper galleon on my own. The thing is, you need to be SMART when you run away. And today, I want to share a few tips to help you survive out… [Continue Reading]
