Xbox's Game Pass has fundamentally changed how players discover and experience games by removing the traditional barrier of individual purchases. Players can broaden their gaming horizons by exploring a vast library of games with minimal risk. Xbox's generous Game Pass model benefits gamers, who can sample genres and franchises they might otherwise ignore, but also developers, whose games gain visibility among audiences that would never have encountered them under a conventional storefront system.

Sea of Thieves is one of the clearest beneficiaries of this accessibility-driven ecosystem. Its intuitive mechanics, playful tone, and cooperative design make it welcoming for casual players who simply want to sail and explore chaotic pirate adventures with friends. Beneath Sea of Thieves' colorful surface also lies a surprisingly deep competitive layer that requires naval combat and resource management skills.

As part of a collaboration with Xbox, WEBTOON presents the new five-episode webcomic Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite. Set in the game’s iconic pirate world, The Last Bite embraces the franchise’s signature colorful tone in a brand-new adventure centered around a crew of pirates aboard a doomed ship, which is only the first of their challenges. Readers don't have to be versed in Sea of Thieves lore to follow this pirate tale that captures the spirit of the game.

All five episodes of Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite are available to read for free on WEBTOON. Readers who complete the entire series before February 13, 2026 will receive a code for a one-month free trial of Xbox Game Pass Premium. Of course, reading The Last Bite is the perfect entry point for newcomers, as well as a complement to the Sea of Thieves game experience for experienced players.

Sea Of Thieves: The Last Bite Offers More Than A Free Game Pass

Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite's free Game Pass reward transforms the webtoon from a simple promotional tie-in into a tangible gateway to the Xbox ecosystem. However, it also serves as a test for the Sea of Thieves franchise. A five-issue webtoon proves that Sea of Thieves can expand into a multimedia franchise, following the steps of Sonic, Pokémon, and Final Fantasy.

The Pirates of the Caribbean movies have left a pirate-shaped hole in pop culture. Nine years after its final installment, no major franchise has been able, or has truly attempted, to fill that void. Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite could be the first step toward a longer comic series, or even an eventual animated Sea of Thieves project that scratches that itch and gathers a sturdy fanbase.
