The latest Twitch drops will be available till November 25 in Sea of Thieves in Season 8

Twitch drops allow players to collect a bunch of cosmetics for their in-game characters and ships so that they can show them off to other pirates while sailing by watching special streams. The system also encourages players to join and support the work of Sea of Thieves content creators on the platform.

To get the Season 8 Twitch drop, players should do the following:

• First and foremost, individuals need to connect their Sea of Thieves account to their account on Twitch.
• To do this, they will need to log in with their Microsoft account on the official Twitch drops page. Once they do, they will see the option to 'Link Account' with their Twitch account.
• After the required linking is done, players will need to go over to Twitch. While usually, individuals would have to watch a stream by any of the partnered streamers to get the accompanying drops, Rare explained that this time these drops can be offered by a Sea of Thieves streamer who has Drops enabled and the game marked.
• Players will have to watch a stream for at least an hour to be eligible to get a reward, which they will have to claim from their Twitch notifications within a day.

Rare revealed that the latest Twitch drops will be available from November 23 to November 25 (10.00 am UTC). The rewards are as follows:

• Rising Morningstar Captain Gloves
• Rising Morningstar Dress
• Rising Morningstar Dress Hat
• Rising Morningstar Dress Jacket

The Twitch drop announcement from the game's official Twitter handle mentioned that players will have to watch a minimum of one hour per item and will have to claim one reward before moving to the next one. So hop on to the next Sea of Thieves stream, watch acts of swashbuckling piracy and earn various cosmetic rewards.

Season 8 sees the battle for the Sea of Thieves begin between the Guardians of Fortune and the Servants of the Flame, with players being able to side with one or the other by voting at the captain's table. Once the crew has selected a faction, they will soon be matched against a foe in a designated battle area.

Through battles, players need to grow their Allegiance with either faction and unlock themed cosmetic content. At level 100 Allegiance, they will have a chance to get rare cosmetic curses. Players can find out how to unlock them here.
