    When do we get access to this?

    The pre-load date for the main game is after the beta date.

    Will the beta appear as a download?

    Will we be emailed a link to access the download?

    Will I be able to log in with my Microsoft account and use my existing pirate?

    So i spoke to Joe Neate the other day at the pub, and we both agreed you’re not allowed access. In fact he said they’re gonna create a new ban beard just for you. Think we agreed on Taxbeard.

    Unsure exactly mate.

    30 Apr 24 is the release date. Those with the Premium Edition will be able to access on 25 Apr 24. The countdown timer look like it finishes on 25 Apr at 1000 GMT.

    I would assume there will be a Beta download as opposed to a link, but I will stand corrected if this is not the case.

    Serious issue, these players either trolls or dont know the situation

    Not sure how they'll do the beta for the 12th-15th, assuming its similar to how the insiders program works, it might be a separate download.

    I believe you have to log in to microsoft, similar to other games having a company log in.

    Also I have just seen that the main game expected auto download is 23 Apr 24 FYI.

    @ccc-735 How is my post in any way trolling?

    @captainwilks they were referring to my joke, which they obviously didn’t get or couldn’t take. But don’t worry about it, we know the beta info now and when it is etc :)

    • The game is available to preinstall from today!
    • Is it not available to play yet - that comes on Friday!
    • Get your install done so you can sail the seas on Friday!
    • There are no servers so you can not load in YET!
    • You may be able to link your accounts now but please make sure it's the right account as you can not change it!

    @beckyfr0st just since you’re here, can I ask if PlayStation players can stream the beta? Someone asked on social media and i was curious.

    I thought it felt early, but it popped up so I switched my brain off and wanted to game. Appreciate the clarification. Looking forward to trying this game out~

    @beckyfr0st will say this, I've been trying to figure out for the past 20 minutes why it wouldn't let me play after I downloaded it. Thank you for the info bud!

    Every upcoming game should start with the "Stand by screen" like in Fallout, otherwise people might just wait for 20 mins.
