Keelhauled: A Sea of Thieves Podcast

This week in Sea of Thieves, we've got a video to address with the community from Drew. Most of the topics are about Season 20 and the hotfixes and changes coming in. Whether those will work out remains to be seen, as we already have conflicting reports from streamers stating those previous hotfixes aren't working as intended. Outside of that, there are some good changes to Custom Seas planned for...

This week on Keelhauled, it's time to talk to the Gold Hoarders about Season 20, Custom Seas, and the potential of a Sea of Thieves film. It was great to talk to them at the end of one of the show's last episodes. They've supported me for a long time, and it's always nice to sit down and chat with friends.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into Season 20: Custom Seas, a massive update that completely shifts how you play Sea of Thieves! We're breaking down the headline feature—Custom Seas—which grants players the keys to the ocean with 24-player lobbies, full sandbox customization, a built-in Command Menu, and a brand-new Free Camera mode perfect for creators. Plus, we discuss the evolution of the S...

This week in Sea of Thieves, I'm back from Summer Games Fest and the Xbox Showcase, and it's time to talk about Season 20's launch, the Bilge Rat Weekender, and the future of the Podcast.

*Apologies for the weird audio 45 minutes in* Ahoy, pirates! The latest Sea of Thieves Hotfix has officially dropped, bringing a fresh wave of adjustments to the chaotic Last Ship Standing mode. Rare has been closely monitoring the community’s feedback and stepped in to tweak the overall pacing of matches. You can expect a better flow that keeps battles from dragging on indefinitely, alongside a m...

The latest Sea of Thieves update introduces Last Ship Standing , an intense six-Sloop battle royale mode in the Sea of the Damned featuring shrinking boundaries, custom arena environments, and placement-based Allegiance rewards. Alongside this major PvP addition, the developers have addressed player feedback by replacing the blinding red edge-of-map effects with a cleaner greyscale tint, doubling...

This week in Sea of Thieves is a hard one to talk about, and while I think it's an important issue, it's not something that I want people to go out and look into if you're averse to sensitive topics like harassment, abuse, or grooming. Aside from that, Last Ship Standing and Twitch drops were delayed to this week. I'm having a hard time wanting to engage with the game, and honestly, I need Rare to...

As Season 19 enters its final act, Sea of Thieves players are preparing for the May 14th launch of Last Ship Standing , a high-stakes Sloop battle royale that pits up to six crews against each other in the Sea of the Damned for increased Allegiance rewards. However, the excitement for this event is currently being overshadowed by a heated debate within the community regarding a massive overhaul of...

This week in Sea of Thieves, I sit down with Evil Morpheus and Godhammer and the conversation of Doubloons and Bilge Rat Weekenders had to happen. I'll be curious if we're going to be getting any new in the coming week from Rare and if it will address any of the issues we saw last weekend. The consensus remains that Season 19 has introduced a "solution in search of a problem," and the community is...

This update marks a major turning point for the Sea of Thieves economy with the launch of Season 19 and the debut of the Bilge Rats Weekender events. The most significant change is the Doubloon Economy Reset, where players' existing Doubloon stashes are converted into gold to make way for a new, scarcer Doubloon system with a 4,000-coin cap. To earn these revamped riches, pirates must participate...

The April 2026 update for Sea of Thieves brings a wave of new events and game editions, headlined by the introduction of the Bilge Rats Weekender starting April 16th, which features fireworks, new challenges, and the return of the Festival of Fishing. Pirates should act fast to grab commemorative Doubloon Hoarder cosmetics before the currency reset on April 16th, while those looking to join the fr...

Ahoy pirates! I hope you had a good weekend, and apologies for getting this out a little later than anticipated. I sat down tonight and had a lot of processing to do with this episode and how I feel about what was said in the Community Direct. It was a good direct, but was it a great one? That will depend on your perspectives, but I hope that by providing mine, I can add some knowledge to the pool...

Ahoy Pirates! This week, I sit down with Gold Hoarders to talk about the end of Season 18 and the start of Season 19 with the updates to Hourglass. We take a look at the changes and how everyone engaged with them. Are they working as intended? How did the last season hold up? What are we hoping to hear about in the community direct? All that and more this week! Support: https://www.patreon.com/kee...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's the 8th anniversary for the studio, and I try to break down all the stuff going on, as well as my thoughts on the new Hourglass fights. It's crazy to think of what this season was going to be, but even as I went through making this episode, I noticed bugs in the game. This update brings in some new cosmetics but mostly focuses on Hourglass. Hopefully, you're havin...

This week in Sea of Thieves, we have a hotfix to come in and try to fix some of the big bugs that came in from Act 3 Gary's. I'm still seeing issues related to rowboats, so just be cautious with using them. We've got news about the Doubloon Cutlass, as well as what came into the emporium and why there's something coming that has people grabbing their pitchforks. All that and more on this week's ep...

Ahoy Pirates! This week in Sea of Thieves, it's finally Act 3 of Season 18, and all the bugs aside, I have to say I like the new Garrisons. They bring a lot more thought and detail than I've had time to appreciate, but, hey, that's what Safer Seas is for. I hope you're not running into too many issues. I know I definitely think this update could use some more tuning. There's a lot to cover for dat...

This week in Sea of Thieves, we are on the launch week of Act 3 for Season 18, and I'm sitting down with two of the Gold Hoarders to talk about the lastest podcast news as how they feel about the game in it's current state.

Ahoy there, Pirates, and Happy 8th Anniversary of the Keelhauled Podcast! It's a longer episode because I think we've got a lot to talk about with the upcoming patch for Act 3 in Season 18, as well as what the new plan for Season 19 holds in store. Drew has said quite a bit about the future of the studio and how they want to approach their content pipeline. It's not an easy thing to talk about, an...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time to talk about Act 3 for Season 18. There's a Gold and Glory weekend coming at the end of the month, as well as discounts in the emporium. The biggest news to me is what I experienced on Insiders with the new Ashen Garrisons, as well as the very quiet news about the latest Sea of Thieves comic! Gameblast26 is coming up to support the charity SpecialEffect, and...

Ahoy there, Pirates! Welcome to the 400th episode of the Keelhauled Podcast. Nothing too special this week, but for me, it's quite the moment hitting this many episodes on a solo show. This week, we get to talk about the Pringles promotion across the world and how North America was left out of the promotion. I'll also be diving into this month in Sea of Thieves and what to expect!. Let me take a q...

This week in Sea of Thieves, there's not much news to go over, so let's talk about what we hope to see in 2026. I'm curious to know if your top wish for Sea of Thieves made the list. Personally, I think there are some great wishes, and I'm hoping that this year we'll finally get some of the big ones off the list.   Support: https://www.patreon.com/keelhauledpodcast During December, Monthly members...
