Sea of Thieves unlocks player-made adventures with Custom Seas in Season 20

Season 20 introduces Custom Seas, a standalone Sea of Thieves lobby mode for up to 24 players across six crews, plus a full toolkit (Free Cam, crew/ship customization, creature spawns, fast travel, item spawning, and a new Command Menu) to design and host user-made modes like team deathmatch, boat races, or monster hunts. Gold can’t be earned in Custom Seas, but silver is used for in-lobby scoring and a configurable scoreboard. Players can visit legendary locations (Old Sailor Isle, Tribute Peak, Glorious Sea Dog Taverns, Damned Sea Dog Tavern) and access the map via a Quick Command Menu (Free Cam, Fly, Quick Sail, Quick Spawn). The update also adds three new achievements and a host of lobby presets to jump-start creativity.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Devs Spotlight a Fresh, Player-Driven remake

Nintendo’s Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream on Switch is a ground-up rebuild focused on player-generated content. The team expanded the Mii world with more space, refined visuals and voices without losing the series’ charm or the Mii characters’ distinct personalities, and added picking up Mii characters as a core mechanic that enables spontaneous interactions. Prototypes like string phones gave way to gameplay where outcomes arise from the characters’ choices, preserving agency and surprise. The result aims for endless inside jokes and heartwarming moments as players observe relationships and daily life on a larger island.
