[SOLVED]: Has someone been able to download the game with closed-beta access and not have an alpha-client?

  • @musicmee nope, But i did not preorder yet

  • @nylewalsh Preordering doesn't matter the old alpha client will just automatically update to the beta client as required. We expect a further update to this later today if you haven't already received an update today.

  • @musicmee I am on microsoft store and I still have the "Sea of Thieves Technical alpha" it download, but I don't know if it dowload the alpha again or the beta.

  • @katttruewalker for some reason when i click your link it says "YOURE NOT AUTORIZED TO VIEW THIS PAGE" im have founder status and am wating for link to download the game ... ill keep wating during the day but that just cough my attention

  • @nylewalsh It will be the beta eventually when the update happens. Any old clients will become the beta there is not much to do on your part other than to update when it hits.

  • I've downloaded it, but a friend can't even find it after preordering in December.

  • @zxhpendyprxz I think it's been taken down for amendments.

  • @tufor-c No the help page...

    For PC you will need to do this -

    Make sure you are signed into Windows 10, the Store and the Insider Hub with the correct account. Access to the Closed Beta is linked to your Gamertag, so you must be signed in with the associated email address and password that you used when you signed up for the Sea of Thieves Insider Program.

    Install the Insider Hub, find Sea of Thieves in the Hub and finally install the game from the Hub and Store. Follow the steps below:

    • Press the Start key and open the Store
    • Search for and install the Xbox Insider Hub
    • Launch the Hub and you'll find Sea of Thieves waiting for you
    • Click the icon which will take you through to the Store page
    • Click install and the download will begin.
  • hey i have tried to install this closed beta on my pc but i can't find it in insider hub? i got inviteded to alpha but couldn't play becouse i got invited to xbox when i don't own a xbox ... and the answer to that i got was to wait until early 2018 when play anywhere function would be able. what i understand form this statement is that play anywhere function is active? https://www.seaofthieves.com/news/closed-beta-play-anywhere
    So i would like help to solve this matter so i can play this game :)

  • @impish436 Try the "fix" at my edited post at the beginning. Open the alpha link and try to download it.

  • @impish436 Have you tried the instructions on this page? It has been updated.

  • Has anyone already downloaded the "alpha client" today? Can you confirm that it turns into the "beta client" after the download ? My internet connection is extremely slow and i dont want to miss out on potential gaming time tomorrow. Thanks in advance!

  • Yep, took a while to workout this fix. Glad my random issues helped others too :D Thanks to @OdinResurrected for giving the link to the store page.

  • @katttruewalker are these the steps you mean? https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360000081387-Closed-Beta-Install-Instructions-PC-Xbox-and-Pre-Order-

  • Everyone try this:

    It says "technical alpha" when you download it. It seems it afterwards updates to the "beta client".

  • @katttruewalker i have also tried created new login on my pc and it wont work either... :/ do you guys have any solution to this ? i really want to play it the first second it will be up :)

  • @impish436 Hey, did the my link above work for you? Im still downloading it, so i cannot personally confirm that it turns out to be the beta client.
