Safer Seas is a new way to play Sea of Thieves in a private world with up to three chosen friends. It’s a private mode where you can play with friends without having to worry about being attacked by other players. In addition to introducing new players to the game gently, it allows experienced players to immerse themselves in the world at their own pace.

If you’re having trouble with High Seas, you should try joining a guild, which may help you on regular servers.

Sea of Thieves How to Get to Safer Seas

To get to Safer Seas in Sea of Thieves, you will need to pick the option from the main menu. You will then be able to create or join a private session with up to three chosen friends.

Here are the steps in more detail:

  1. Launch Sea of Thieves.
  2. Select the Safer Seas option from the main menu.
  3. From here you can either create a Private Session or join one.
  4. To create one:
    1. Select the Private Session option from the main menu.
    2. You’ll need to set a name and password for it.
  5. To join one:
    1. Select the Join Private Session option from the main menu.
    2. Enter the name of the session that you want to join.

This means there will be no PvP, so things like Skull of the Siren Song will not be available.

Can you switch to Safer Seas while in High Seas?

No, you cannot switch between High Seas and Safer Seas in-game. If you want to change Seas, you will need to start or join another session.

This is because Safer Seas and High Seas are two separate game modes with different settings. If you are in a High Seas session and want to switch to Safer Seas, you will need to leave your current session and start a new one in Safer Seas.

What is Safer Seas in Sea of Thieves?

Safer Seas is a new way to play Sea of Thieves in a private world with up to three chosen friends. It is intended to be a gentler introduction to the game for new players, as well as a way for experienced players to immerse themselves in the world at their own pace.

High Seas is the public mode where you can play with anyone and face the dangers of the open sea, including other players. Safer Seas is different. In Safer Seas, players will earn progression in certain Trading Companies, but it will be at 30% of the value of what you’d earn in High Seas. Players will also be limited to level 40, and Athena’s Fortune Trading Company will not be available.
