Sea of Thieves beta players are being honoured as easter eggs

Sea of Thieves is still in its pre-release build, with beta and scale testing currently taking place intermittently, but that hasn’t stopped developers Rare from leaving a few in-game surprises.

Throughout the game’s eight month pre-build testing, the developers have been popping in easter eggs to commemorate players who have helped the game weather stormy seas, either through beta-testing, feedback, moderating, or just doing something memorable in-game.

Turns out, Sea of Thieves' swashbuckling is like "improv comedy that the player creates."

According to the Sea of Thieves forum, 26 known easter eggs are in Sea of Thieves. Each one humorously memoralising a special player in a way related to how they assisted Rare, while also incorporating their gamertag - with each beta test, new easter eggs appear.
