Sea of Thieves Closed Beta FAQ

  • @repsejnworb Oh dear :( Well you need to grab the installer which is inside the Xbox Insider Hub app - You may need to get that from the store.

    PS Congrats on the new baby :D Hope you are finally sleeping well.

  • Hooray!!!

    I am on Wintendo though, and loading up the store and looking at my library or searching for "Sea of Thieves" yields nothing sadly.

    And thanks! Ye sleep has started to become a thing again ;D

  • @repsejnworb Hahaha, in that case, open up the store search for Super Mario Odyssey and download that instead.

    You can play Sea of Thieves on Windows 10 too using the same instruction I posted above.

  • :D I can't wait for this!

  • @musicmee ye I know, the issue is that there is nothing in the store except the game available for pre-order.
    According to the (very lacking) FAQ it should be in my Game Library already (in the store), but it isn't.
    And the only thing I can find when searching is the game to pre-order.

  • @repsejnworb
    I have the same problem :(

  • @lynxtic Do you not have access to the alpha client from the insider hub either?

  • *why is it telling me that iv pre ordered.
    But can't play till 20th of march 2018?? lol *

  • @lynxtic @repsejnworb should be here https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/p/sea-of-thieves-closed-beta/c21hp72qsm7l

    or search the Microsoft Store web page for Sea of Thieves Closed Beta

  • ok thanks

    I have the same problem :(

    Alright I figured it out. The FAQ is rather lackluster..

    So:

    1. Go to Microsoft Store and download "Xbox Insider Hub" (this is on PC)
    2. Login to "Xbox Insider Hub" and hit "Insider Content" in the side menu.
    3. "Accept" or w/e (can't recall what it said) the "Sea of Thieves Technical ALPHA" (says alpha there).
    4. Once accepted Microsoft Store will start blinking cause it automagically went to "Sea of Thieves Closed Batta" page, where you can start the download.
  • @repsejnworb Glad you got it sussed! Those instructions will work on Xbox for any Founder members too.

  • I have to take the alpha version?

  • @lynxtic It will update itself to the closed beta version once you have it later today.

  • ok thanks all :) is good

    This helped, thanks. After clicking on "Insider Content", I actually had to click around a bit before Technical Alpha changed to Closed Beta, then the download started.

  • Hi
    i will b. the game January 18 in Xbox One, still has not begun the beta download

  • Will there be a trailer of what it is waiting for us in the beta ?

  • @xredx-harlow We don't know.... we do know there are announcements coming some time today in regard to the Closed Beta.

  • @khaleesibot
    Hi i can’t recived Any code, i purchased the game jenuary 18.

  • **hi
    I've pre ordered the game thru Xbox. AND it's not letting me download the game. Please help **

  • @khaleesibot this FAQ doesn't really tell us much. The question: What content will be in the beta just says "we didn't put everything in the beta"

    Is there a change log we can read ahead of time to know what we should be looking at to test?

  • @mage-khadgar You don't technically need a code if you have pre ordered, you should be able to go to whichever platform you prefer and download the game as per these instructions -

  • @katttruewalker thank you !!!

  • Hi !
    I'm in Central European Time and I read that Bêta will open tomorrow at 1pm. Why so late in comparison to the others regions ?
    Is it simply a mistakes (1pm/1am), knowing that correct difference time between GMT and CET is 1 hour ? If not, it's strange because it will close at the same time as everyone (9am on monday, correct time difference with GMT).
    Thanks by advance for the answer !

  • @kal-quantik It looks odd but that's because the game will be opening up in GMT at midday rather than midnight. 12PM is actually the afternoon - odd I know!

  • @musicmee Lol ! sorry for the confusion ! Thanks for answering !

  • @kal-quantik No worries! I have always found the 12PM/AM thing very confusing tooo 12PM should soooo be at night!

  • @musicmee The whole rest of this crazy world should use the 00:00-24:00 system. Nothing to be confused about there xD

  • Any news on pc specs for the beta?

  • I got an email telling me that I'm a founder and that I need to follow steps which include a "Black Dog Pack code". I never got any such code. Help.

  • @y3llojimmy You get that code for pre-ordering. Founders need only update their Alpha client or check the Insider Hub to gain access.

  • @khaleesibot
    Dear Sea of Thieves team, as I bend the knee and look up at you with puppy dog eyes. I have just found out about this wonderful game and joined to become a insider. All my friends are on the beta and Im desperate to join them. I ask is there any possible way i can get my hooks on the beta ? I will give 10% of all my treasure to you , if you can help pllllease!!!

  • @mozsta69 If 10% of all your treasure is about $70 or more, you might consider just pre-ordering.
