Bought the game yesterday and it refuses to launch

@crimson-king126 happned to me once in a thunderstorm when an update came out the power fell while it was updating the game and after ive updated the game it was corrupted so ive reinstalled the game and it worked perfectly fine after.
As much as its annoying just reinstall the game, if it dosent work try to contact directly with their support page they will help you.

@crimson-king126 I see, second possible reason is your firewall or antivirus blocking files so you need to check your antivirus and check if any of the files there are related to Sea of Thieves.
