10 Video Games That Secretly Change Without You Noticing
6. A Constantly Evolving World - Sea Of Thieves (2018)
Rare's open world pirate sandbox Sea Of Thieves has come a long way since it first set sail in 2018. In the years that followed, the developers have added boatloads of new features, including story-driven Tall Tales, new world events and voyage types, and brand-new stealth mechanics which have completely changed how the game can be played.
While significant changes like the arrival of the volcanic Devil's Roar region are impossible to miss, there have been dozens of smaller changes throughout this game's life that go go unnoticed by most players.
Whether it's characters travelling to other parts of the map to divulge hints about upcoming story beats or the addition of secret locations for you to discover, Sea Of Thieves' world is constantly evolving, with each major update bringing plenty of hidden treats for inquisitive adventurers to seek out.
In the weeks leading up to Golden Sands Outpost's transformation into what's now known as Port Merrick, for example, players could watch the construction slowly progress as new structures continued to be added.
There's always something new to uncover when setting sail Sea Of Thieves.
