Can i get my pirate back??? (Update)

  • I got on my xbox today so i could update sea of thieves to continue my way to becoming pirate legeand (to which i was half way in with 30 gold, 25 skull and 29 merchant). However to my surprise i found out that the game somehow got deleated meaning that i would have to reinstall it. What i want to know is that if my pirate would still be there when i reinstall it and if it isn't is there a way to get it back

    Just finished installing the game (despite it taking a whole day and a few more hours) and when i opened it i found that my pirate was still there.

  • if im not mistaken, it's tied to your account. Unless you hit delete pirate in settings, you should be good to go.

  • Ahoy mate, your pirate should still be there when you re-install. If not, I don’t think there’s a way to recover them.

    Happy sailing!

  • Hello there!

    You game is uninstalled but all your progress is saved on the cloud servers! Only you deleting your character in "Pirate Settings" in settings in-game will delete your character!

    Hope this is the information you were looking for!

  • @largestknight09 - As others have mentioned, unless you hit Delete Pirate in the settings your character will still be there after reinstalling the game.

    It'd be very helpful if you could come back and post confirming this for others to see :)

  • Yeah it’s logical that your Pirate isn’t deleted! I deleted SoT cause of issues and reinstalled it, your progress is on your Account(XB Live) not on the Xbox HDD! When youre Using Xbox Play Anywhere you’re playing with your exact same Char on Laptop or PC, think about it :)

  • Actually everyone who uses Play Anywhere can confirm that your pirate isn't tied to the installation.

    addition: On the other hand it is quite normal for online games to save everything on their server. This is good for our savegames and prevents some sorts of cheating.

  • @katttruewalker Im still waiting for my game to finish installing since i have pretty trash internet so my download speed is at maximum of 6mb per second approximately (note that i play on the xbox one) when there is no one using the internet. I started the installation quite late in the day and at the current time of me writing this it is at 71.6%. Once the intallation is finished i will come back and confirm if my pirate is still there.

  • As someone who jumps between Xbox and PC, I can confirm that your character is stored on Rares servers. You have nothing to worry about =)

  • i am not happy! i deleted my fricking pirate because i thought it looked bad now i want it back what do i do?!?

  • are you saying that if i delete my pirate by mistake it will be stored in rares servers?!?

  • @rickvirts If you delete your pirate, you will lose all Reputation and levels, as well as all items bought in game.
