NowSea of Starshas gotten a major new update. TheSea of StarsDawn of Equinox updateis out now, adding a local co-op mode that lets up to three players play through the entirety of the game together. The update has also made sweeping changes toSea of Starscombat based on player feedback and has revamped the prologue. The update has also added an extra cutscene, the Speedrunner Mode Relic, difficulty presets, and Quebecois localization. Additionally, the update has improved the Parrot Relic and has made various quality of life improvements. Needless to say, the newSea of Starsupdate is substantial, and it should make one of Xbox Game Pass' best games even better.
Sea of Stars' new co-op modeis the big selling point of the update, but the other changes should be appreciated by fans as well. All things considered, what’s here is substantial enough not just to draw in players that were waiting for co-op, but also lapsed players that have already played through the game.
