Rare has rolled out a new update for Sea of Thieves. Following a round of maintenance, patch 1.0.2 is now available to download on Xbox One and PC, and it primarily addresses a number of bugs and performance issues.

The patch weighs in at roughly 450 MB on each platform. The most notable change it makes is to a ship's respawn distance after it sinks. Following the update, ships will now respawn "outside of visible view" of the ship that attacked it. "This is in response to lots of player feedback which highlighted that the previous spawn distance was resulting in 'griefing' behaviour and stalemates at the forts," Rare said.
