It’s unclear how Rare will introduce this new feature, though it’s possible the game will encourage players to leave their loot behind with some sort of progression system. While there have been thousands of treasure maps with X’s marking the spot, there has never much explanation as to how so many chests were hidden beneath the sand. Uncovering lost treasure has always been a major part of Sea of Thieves, but burying booty has been a feature absent from the game so far. The pirates look excited to bury their well-earned Sea of Thieves gold, though it isn't clear exactly why the buccaneers are doing away with their booty. The developer posted a clip showing two pirates burying treasure with the accompanying message: “ Maybe we can teach old sea dogs new tricks…” The video starts from afar, slowly panning past a docked pirate ship and shore occupied by palm trees, until it zooms into the pirate duo committing their deed.
Over on Twitter, Rare hinted that Sea of Thieves players will be able to bury their treasure as part of the Season 5 update, sharing the news with a teaser video (via Game Rant).

Sea of Thieves’ Season 4 update added plenty of dangers such as Ocean Crawlers, while simultaneously adding fresh new rewards for adventurous pirates, including Coral treasures. The update allowed players to fully explore the Sunken Kingdom, tasking them with finding six Siren Shrines, solving challenging puzzles, and locating long-forgotten treasure beneath the sea. Sea of Thieves Season 4 launched in late September, bringing Shrines and sunken treasure to the massive open world. While swashbucklers prepare for the upcoming Season 5 release on December 2, Rare has been busy teasing features that will be introduced in the next big update. Season 4 played a big part in the title's renewed success, introducing more players to the Seven Seas with a wide range of new features. The game has seen an increase in popularity in 2021, in part thanks to its Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration, with Sea of Thieves celebrating 25 million unique players in October.
Rare has teased an exciting new Sea of Thievesupdate that will soon allow players to bury their treasure, introducing another feature to keep fans entertained.
