Xbox News: Sea of Thieves gets its new update called The Shrouded Spoils

Sea of Thieves, an action adventure game published by Microsoft Studios just got its new free update called the Shrouded spoils. (sounds creepy right?)

Shrouded spoils is out today and its the fourth free expansion pack the Sea of thieves have gotten since its launch in March 2018.

I'm happy to report that the game has significantly gotten better with every update.

Shrouded spoils focus on refining most of the elements introduced at the launch instead of adding more new contents it seems. Here are a few things that you should look out for.

#1 Fog

It introduces new weather type, a dense fog surrounding the sky and your ship which makes discovering new stuff difficult, you have to work closely with your friends to navigate the world to save yourselves from bumping into rocks.

The fog can appear out of nowhere and this makes the game more interesting because it gives a more dynamic feel.
