Someone on the Sea of Thieves subreddit asked Rare for a day one patch. Not, like, an update to fix the game or anything, but a literal patch with the number one on it for peopleâs characters to wear. Today, the company obliged.
It was 19 days ago that user Jefabell first made the request, writing, âDear Rare, donât miss the opportunity to release a âDay One Patchâ eye-patch with the gameâs Day One Patch.â In addition to the âpatchâ pun, Sea of Thieves is also a pirate game, the perfect opportunity to poke fun at the recent trend of companies shipping games that are somewhat broken and need big updates right when theyâre released in order to work properly. (Although the gameâs official release is tomorrow, people who pre-ordered are able to download and start playing today.)
Earlier today, Reddit user Darkwizard98 uploaded a picture of the day one eye-patch for all to see. âA message in a bottle from Jolly Jefabell washed ashore,â reads the itemâs description. âEye patch makers read it and say âayeâ.â Well played. And hereâs what it looks like in action:
The eye-patch only costs one gold piece, so anyone who wants one can get in on the joke, but itâs only available until March 29.
