Sea of Thieves Closed Beta FAQ

  • @musicmee thats great; hopefully i do make it since my insider programme email was bugged and i recently switched it to another email.

  • Here's hoping I get into it, then! I'd love to see if my computer's streaming can handle it!

  • Not to sound like a pain, but my left eye is a bit c****y to read through all the comments, which is why I tend to make characters to match, and i was wondering, will we be able to create our pirates?

  • I cant believe its already almost here! I cant believe how long its been! So many new things to come!

  • Where do you download the PC client from?

  • So I take it that the closed Beta will be available to download an PC and Xbox from the 23rd of January 2018, so that people can start playing from the 24th January 2018, will those who played the Technical Alpha have to uninstall that or will the closed beta just update that?

  • @davejc64 It's a seperate download, but the TA doesn't need to be uninstalled.

    Ok thanks, I will have to check as I might have to uninstall the TA anyway, will depend on how much space I have on my PCs HDDs.

  • @haroldmacgregor nope. You can get it. I was on alpha and will be in closed beta. Haven't pre-ordered though I will get the game just for that swash-buckling fun n chilling watching the storms roll in. If you're on xbox download the insider hub find sea of thieves n go from there... See you on the high seas!!

  • So do we get a code or something, I pre- order the game on Xbox and signed up as well

  • @haroldmacgregor I’m almost positive it said that if you became an Insider before December 1st (which I’m pretty sure you did) then you will be invited to the closed beta, even if you didn’t preorder the game.👍

  • @KattTruewalker Will there be otters? :o

  • @paybacksab888h Head on over to the Store and be signed in with the gamertag in your email and the game should show there for you just before the Beta starts.

    If you pre-ordered the game through the Xbox or Windows Store, the game will appear in your games library 24 hours before the Closed Beta begins. You will need to download and install it.

  • @katttruewalker yeah I have it download already didn't know if they give you a code or something for the beta, making sure I didn't just pre-order the game and miss out on these

  • @paybacksab888h I think if you order a physical version, you'd need to redeem a code, but the digital is associated with the account you order on :)

  • @katttruewalker sweet thank you my man, just double checking to make sure I didn't miss a key information

  • @paybacksab888h "My man?" 😨 M'lady @KattTruewalker is not hindered thus by being of male gender. 😆

    Hope to see you on the seas matey. And hope you enjoy your time aboard the good ship SoT. ;)

  • Whiiii! My heart literally jumped when the invitiation popped up in my inbox. Looking forward to be the worst cannoneer on the seven seas yet again high five with a wide miss

  • @wargrym you are correct I ment to say M'lady

  • Woop! Will we be able to install the update before first play day? My internet sucks

  • @rossross6 Afaik you will, 24 hrs before.

  • @rossross6

    the game will appear in your games library 24 hours before the Closed Beta begins. You will need to download and install the game.

  • So exciting!!! HERE WE GOOOOO

  • It will be interesting to see what it offers over and above what the TA had as that will help me decide whether or not to buy, because based on what the TA had I wont be buying, the game needs a lot more PvE content to make it worth my while, just have to wait and see.

  • @davejc64 It will be interesting, especially with this teaser on the website -

    We’ve crafted a bespoke experience for Closed Beta players that has been designed to give everyone a taste of the pirate life that they can expect in the full version of the game at release. We won’t be testing the full game during the Closed Beta phase: we want to keep a good selection of things up our sleeves for players to discover at launch.

    As long as it offers a good mix of what the game will actually offer when it's fully launched, but I will still hold off pre-ordering until after the closed beta as what I experience in that will effect my final decision.

  • With the NDA lifting does that mean I can start writing that glowing review I’ve been wanting to write?

  • @aussiecossie You will be able to write about anything and everything you witness while playing in the beta version of the game. Can't wait to see what you come up with :D

  • I have preordered and got my invite but for the alpha I received an Xbox invite but I play on pc so I missed out. I wanted to know if my beta invite will be for PC?

  • @MusicalPandas96 Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
    Display Memory: 6017 MB
    Dedicated Memory: 1952 MB
    Shared Memory: 4064 MB
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6100 CPU @ 3.70GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.7GHz
    Memory: 8192MB RAM
    Its my PC good ?

  • @mandatedrex941 Hi there, have the same email problem. But you dont need invite, if u play alpha you automatically invited to the Closed Beta.
    Just download the game from the insider app 24h before the beta start.
    Corect me if i wrong.
    WHHHRAAA!

  • @musicmee @Thor-von-Blitz gotta be fresh! haha im deffo going to be streaming... and as Old Salts, I believe we will have lots of streamed stories between us!

  • @jokerxfacexptx Your PC should be good enough to run the game.

  • @kerzhmax sounds good can’t wait WRAHHHHHH

  • looking forward to the beta!
