Sea of Thieves Update 2.0.15.1 Patch Notes

Here are all the changes and additions introduced to Sea of Thieves in update 2.0.15.1, as per its full patch notes:

Updates

• Text Size Accessibility – Lost Treasures introduced an increase in text size across the game to provide an improved default experience for wider accessibility. With this update, the ‘Text Chat Scale’ option within Accessibility Settings can now be tweaked from 1.0 (new default) down to 0.5 (previous size), enabling players to return text chat notifications to their original size.
• ‘Let Games Read to Me’ Improvements – With ‘Let Games Read to Me’ enabled, a new accessibility setting is now available: ’Narrate Toast Messages’. When enabled, this provides extra narration instruction when a player receives a pop-up toast notification in-game. This includes game activity such as selling treasure, having new players join your crew and receiving crew invites.

Fixed Issues

Gameplay

• Galleons approached from a distance will no longer appear to have a grey textured hull.
• Missing text strings in the main menu have now been replaced with correct localisation in non-English languages.
• Using a Speaking Trumpet when Speech-to-Text is enabled will now ensure that speech converted to text is also shown over a greater distance.

Combat

• Improvements to hit registration when shooting at players while they are walking, running and jumping.

Tall Tales

• ‘The Seabound Soul’ – Completing the Tale will now correctly unlock The Seabound Soul Commendation and award the Sword of Souls weapon.

Known Issues
