Really Microsoft... Wow

  • Ok... so mixed messages. Is it a Microsoft Store error? Or has the game been removed?

    Sorry for the drama... I guess I enjoy playing this game more than I thought.

  • @aristonsparta Sorry but it’s just my opinion based on my personal experience

  • My friends play on gamepass yesterday, earlier today and we’re heading out to get some more gold in a few hours, no problem on their end.

    We’re having a blast with the game so far and hope they they get the additional content out soonish :)

  • This must be a m$ error. It is not letting me play using gamepass. Keeps saying something about sign in with the account this was purchased with.
    Also. If you find it in gamepass it no longer says free under the box art.

  • @akifsarioglu Quick! Alt-F4 and reconnect. u won't

  • The game is no longer featured in the game pass selection, unless one goes to the A-Z section.

    When on the game's page, the install option is not available (I uninstalled to verify)

    So I'm fairly certain it has been removed.

  • @elite-assasin87 I may have to go out of my way to change that perspective you have then sir.

    I wish we could play, but as you can see, I'm having issues with the game.

    Sorry about your poor experiences with other players. I have noticed a certain appeal towards griefers that this game has.

    Reminds me of my days in ARK

  • This will almost certainly be a mistake on MS part. It's still showing in the UK store if you search for Play Anywhere titles. Can't test it personally as I bought it!

  • @undeadkilla6173 said in Really Microsoft... Wow:

    @akifsarioglu gonna be sad once you close the game and restart microsoft store app

    @lensar said in Really Microsoft... Wow:

    @akifsarioglu Quick! Alt-F4 and reconnect. u won't

    After these guys, i even restared my computer and tried again. Still can play. Don't have any idea what's going on but i can access with game pass. So do not speak like you removed the game from Game Pass library. Someone still playing. And probably there is a problem about new update. By the way, if they removed the game from Game Pass lib, why you so happy ? Only you got 60$ in this world ? Do not be funny friends.

  • This is one of the reasons I'm skeptical of subscribing to the Game Pass. You just never know when they're gonna pull it. Chances are this is probably just an error at the moment, but still sucks for the people who subscribed to Game Pass just to play this game. Will it last 2 weeks/6 months on Game Pass? The point is who knows? I bought a physical copy for my One X that I use and a digital copy for my One S my son plays on. I'm probly in it for the long-haul anyways so I might as well make sure I always have access to the game no matter what.

  • @akifsarioglu I'm wondering if this is only affecting those on the free two week trial of game pass.

  • @aristonsparta ah a fellow ark player, I enjoyed the heck out of the game but I’ve now officially switched to sea of thieves. As for what I said, I’m not trying to accuse all game pass users of being toxic, my own crew mate uses game pass, I’m just celebrating the fact that all the toxic players I ran into will no longer ruin the game for anyone else. I’m specifically talking about the ones that abuse the in game chat to shout profanities at you, they’re low life’s who don’t seem to care that this game has also attracted a lot of young children.

    As for players who use game pass but don’t do that, I’ll miss you guys, really. I’m not sure what my friend is going to do if it’s gone now, not sure he has the money to buy it at the moment, I’ll probably gameshare with him or something.

  • @billpinknye So they want my $10... dang it!!!

    THAT BE MY BOOTY!!!

  • Seems there's other threads popping up about this too. I wonder if its a glitch, or if they removed it from those that signed up for game pass then immediately set it to "do not renew".

  • @elite-assasin87 I appreciate your candor.

    Maybe I will shell out $60, or start a Sea of Thieves donation stream!

    15 cents please? If everyone gives 15 cents, I'll have it in no time!

  • This has to be a mistake. I set mine to do not renew after playing SoT. But I had Gamepass for months.

  • @billpinknye My friend's game pass is 14 days trial too. Restarted computers and playing together right now.

  • @rdizz said in Really Microsoft... Wow:

    Actually a lot of people bought game pass based on SoT... pretty underhanded if you ask me. Regardless on how one feels about it. However what this says to me is that it caused more problems than made sales.

    Free trial is still up though, so maybe it's ok? Nobody has actually been charged for the game pass.

  • @elite-assasin87 B******t. There's zero way to know if someone is a pass user or not. You have no idea if they are on the trial or actual pass either. B******t.

  • Hmmm... then what in the devil is going on?

    Sorry to bring this drama here, but I figured you laddies would be able to decipher this conundrum, rather than me bang my head against the doors of Microsoft's castle.

  • @gowermanman 1. Watch your language or mods will delete your post.

    1. Yes there is, in your keyboard-induced rage you seem to forget that I’m able to message players and asked them personally. Which I did. Their responses were generally “yeah fam got it for free, can’t believe you payed money for this”, well minus the obscenities.
  • @aristonsparta Might be down because of the update

  • Still has it under Recently added, All games A-Z, Action/Adventure & RPGs. And I've been a Game Pass user for the last 2 months. Either Microsoft messed up or they are having fun with people's money.

    As it stands I can't get on I'll just play Siege.

  • seen a few people mention it on the sea of thieves discord as well, some saying that cant even play now, when they click on game it takes them to the buy page

  • When I try to launch Sea of Thieves, I get this error:

    "Sea of Thieves is currently not available in your account. Here’s the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001"

    I had installed the game after starting the free 14-day trial of Game Pass. I just tried uninstalling it to reinstall it, but I don't have the option to Install, only Buy. Scrolling down on the Microsoft Store page, it still says "Sea of Thieves is included with Xbox Game Pass at release", but it doesn't mention Game Pass by the Buy button at the top.

    Pretty sure it's just broken. Hope it's fixed soon.

  • This is the error I am getting, and I've checked into everything to be sure the account lines up and so on.

    My guess is that the update to the client created some issues on the back end affecting some users and not others.

    "Sea of Thieves is currently not available in your account. Here’s the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001"

  • @kaiochaooo Thank God it is only broken, and not dirty tactics.

    These days... one can never be too vigilant.

  • This is very likely just a microsoft bug. No reason to panic yet.

  • Its still on the A-z and still under xbox-play anywhere and still has the play on game pass next to buy it now on the store and I still have access to it, have you gone to downloads and updates could be the fact you need to download the client again confusing the store.

  • @pilks4k Microsoft Store client is up to date.

    Was thinking the same thing.

  • @aristonsparta said in Really Microsoft... Wow:

    Microsoft has removed Sea of Thieves from its game pass selection.

    Microsoft... this is such a cheap tactic. Call it business, but this is beyond disgusting. Not even letting those that purchased your game pass to even have more than a week on this game.

    Now I have to decide if I want to give in to predatory business tactics and purchase a game NOT WORTH $60. I'd pay $30, but not full price.

    It was fun while it lasted... just not $60 worth of fun.

    they wouldnt be so stupid as to remove it intentionally apparently its a bug of sorts and we will have to wait to gain access again, jumping to the assumption that this was an attack by microsoft without seeking answers first is honestly kinda sad.

    Edit: update microsoft is currently receiving reports and have confirmed its an issue on their end which will be fixed as fast as possible

  • @billpinknye I've been a game pass subscriber since the beginning, and I can't access the game. I bought a disc version of the game, which I gave to my son, and I play using the game pass version. We can play together without having to buy 2 copies.

    Edit: Definitely an MS problem. It is listed on the Xbox Live status page.

  • Ok, here is my last post on this topic.

    I started to download new update at my office. Then i turned off my computer and came home. When i started computer and checked the download, it gave an error. Then i deleted and restarted download. It finished. Opened the game and played.

    Few minutes later saw this topic and saw assertive funny posts like "restart your game and see, you can't do it". Did it, restarted ms store, game and computer at least. Still playing.

    And one last word, if game is deleted from game pass library, people just buy it or not. That's all. My suggestion is stop being like "hahaha game pass users gone, ohohoh".

    Best regards.

  • They have not removed the game from game pass...calm yourself.
