PS5 closed beta questions.

  • Is there any information available about the start times and pre-load? Also, is there a NDA in place, or are we allowed to share gameplay on Twitch for example?

  • I expect there will be an email with details going out at some point this week?

    I was also wondering about the streaming side of it, with it not being an open beta.

    We'll just be running regular season 11 stuff on a PS5 only server, so I don't see why it would have an NDA on it (unless they don't want pre-release bugs being publicised)

  • @jimster71 Hopefully They will let us know soon if there's an NDA or not. They tweeted the start time earlier today on X (Twitter)

  • The beta is available to pre-download now from the PSN store. It's just under 77GB.

  • I don't believe there is an NDA....but will poke the relevant people and double-check for more information.

  • Having trouble starting the closed beta on PS5 it's giving me the lightbeige error for an update but there is none I've tried everything my Internet great

  • @upinsmoke420k You could try waiting for the beta start date? 😜

  • When does the close beta actually start

  • @masonstorm8704 12th of this month

  • Friday 12th at 9am UTC (which is 10am BST, 11am CET, 5am EST, 2am PST, etc)

  • @jimster71 yea ive thought about that but when I downloaded it it gave me a timer to tell me when it was playable why was confused

  • @upinsmoke420k I expect it was to let people do the account linking early to save the servers being hammered on Friday.

  • @jimster71 ok thx was just trying figure that out

  • Is anybody down to grind on it as soon as it comes out hit me up (dragonflyer20) got a mic.

  • Hi all, i have the same lightbeigebeard message (different game versions). If the reason is...it´s not friday...everything is fine for me.
    I download and linked my xbox account, so i´m ready2start on friday.

    So, on xbox i have the 2024 Premium Edition and i preordered on PS5 the Premium Edition.
    Hope it´s all to enjoy SoT on PS5.

    Thanks for your help and see you on friday...have fun :)

  • @daisayah Ahoy matey!

    You are correct - A lightbeigebeard error on Playstion is good, you will be able to play from 10am on Friday!

  • Lol! I was in the same “BOAT” me hardies. I registered my Microsoft account to PSN and expected to play and got the same error! Trying to figure out what’s going on. Thought because my Microsoft account was link to PC that that was an issue. Came across this thread and it’s a much better answer and solution lol. Ty. I’m at peace now

    With respect,

  • @free-soldier82 As above :D You will be able to set sail from 10am on Friday!

  • @musicmee much appreciated. I’m moving from being on Skull N Bones which was a disappointment. 430 hours in , maxed everything and they need the ability to make enough coin to continue supplying manufactures. I was also tired of sailing from2-3 hours collecting… that’s all there was to do basically at this point. Hoping Sea of Thieves offers way more adventure, customization, loot, weapons etc… because , I burned out in SnB. Ubisoft failed the gamers.

  • @free-soldier82 Getting 430 hours out of a game is pretty decent! SoT is a different experience to Skull and Bones for sure.

  • You ARE able to Stream/share the PS Beta (once it starts of course), just need to state that it is a Beta!

  • @upinsmoke420k Dude I got the same thing i'm not understanding I even checked for an update in. It's not happening.

  • @procatdaddy79 mine is doing the samething

  • The PS BETA DOESN'T START UNTIL 9am UTC this Friday, April 12th!

  • @upinsmoke420k Gave me the same count down got me all amped to get away from skull and bones

  • @shaggydog42084 same here that game will die out once this hits hit me up on PS5 dragonflyer20 when it comes out well chill get it started

  • @musicmee many thx from good old germany for your help :)

  • Anyone else having server issues with the Beta? Cant get into a lobby. Heart hurts.

  • @davidm231898 yea I'm unable to enter a server, it says entering and connecting over and over but not doing anything

  • @davidm231898 it works for m, but you must wait...i have three FrontEnd_Jupiter_NonInteractive_Progress_Loading_01...02...03 messages. But then everything works fine for me. All Xbox progress still available...ships, gold, reputation etc.

  • @roastntoastm same i got like 1h in lobby because cant find a server on PS just got a Beard error all time… (Cinnamonbeard)

  • Same for me been trying since 10 am to get into any type of lobby I can and it keeps coming up with the same cinnamon beard error message.

  • Okay so I just looked up the cinnamon beard error and this is what it says
