Sea of Thieves just got a lovely starlight ship sail to raise money for Stand Up to Cancer

Pirates looking to give themselves an aesthetic boost upon the ocean, while also doing something for a good cause at the same time, can now purchase Sea of Thieves' striking new Sails of Union, with proceeds going to Stand Up To Cancer.

By day, the Sails of Union are pleasant enough affairs, providing an appealing splash of yellow for tastefully minded crews to admire and enjoy; by night, though, they're something a little bit special, resembling a beautiful star field shimmering against a darkened sky.

You can watch the Sails of Union work their magic in the trailer below, and if your head is suitably turned as a result, or if you simply fancy supporting a good cause, they're available now on Steam and the Microsoft Store for £4.99/$5.99 USD.

For every sale (sail?) on the Microsoft Store outside the United States, Microsoft will donate 100% of the purchase price (75% of Steam purchases will be donated) to Cancer Research UK. Within the United States, proceedings will go to Stand Up for Cancer US.

Sea of Thieves' Sails of Union will be available until Tuesday, 6th November.
