PS5 link?

  • I don't know how rare is going to do this, but will we be able to link up are ps5 accounts to sea of thieves so we can play on the same account across any platform. I do not wear nowhere to put this other than here so what do you think rare is going to do. Also rare, can we link our accounts now instead of later?

  • Way I see it, as long you are using the Same Microsoft account....but unsure.

  • They confirmed cross progression on Twitter. So as long as you use the same account everywhere you log in, it’ll be fine.

  • @a3gis-prime short answer. Yes.

  • @abjectarity I did not find where they post this on twitter. can you send me a link to twitter post.

  • @a3gis-prime https://twitter.com/ChappersChapman/status/1765461649735946316
    It was Mike who confirmed it and not the official SoT page. Usually Mike or one of the other main people will answer questions everyone has instead of SoT official. Still just as official though.

  • Same question… wait and see.. if all progress could be transferred. But I suspect to start over.

  • @checkmate808 progression carries over regardless of the platform you’re playing on, as long as the accounts are linked.

  • @tesiccl what would my display nameon ps5 be then the same as my xbox account or my playstation account?

  • @killasaint probably your PS5 name (I honestly don’t know).

  • Any news on this? The pre-orders are out already and the beta has started by now.

  • @metal-ravage said in PS5 link?:

    The Beta has not started. It runs from 4/12 to 4/15

    Everyone who pre-orders Sea of Thieves on PlayStation 5 will also have exclusive access to a PlayStation-only Closed Beta, taking place from April 12th–15th.

  • Do we know yet if achievements progress will transfer over to trophies ?
    Sorry if this has been answered but I can’t find anything on it.

  • They've said crossplay and cross progression. I don't know if that means that you can freely move back and forth between consoles or if you have to choose and move your data over to a main platform. I don't think more specific details have been released (possibly still figuring out)

    That is great news!

  • @cybercage im sure if you link the acc you will get all achievements i got it on a different game too

  • So when we say linking. Are we opening SoT on PS5 then linking our Xbox account there or do I need to set my PS5 login to use the same email address I use for Xbox login?

    At the moment my Xbox and PS account use different email addresses. Should I change this? Is my purchase linked to my email address or my PS account?

    Too many questions that need clear answers. Happy to support SoT on PS5 but would like all my cosmetics to be accessible under one pirate

  • @phantaxus this is exactly the thoughts I’m having. I would like it to be seamless and all shared between one pirate

  • @a3gis-prime I'm wondering the same thing about when we can link. I haven't been able to link account so i'm wondering if we have to wait for SoT launch on PS5 to be able to do so.

  • @steelcity9425 Probably around the beta time, which is from April 12th to 15th as mentioned before.

    According to Sony: "Once you have successfully pre-ordered Sea of Thieves, the game will automatically download to your PS5 console when it becomes available on the release date"

  • I really hope it transfers over. I'd be glad to grind it out again though

  • Just like on Steam, the game will require a Microsoft Account/login to play.

  • @phantaxus It should be just like on Steam. I have a Gmail account for my Steam, but my Outlook account for Xbox.

  • @reverend-toast so you had to link your steam account to Microsoft right?

  • Open beta coming up soon… will I be able to link my account as part of the beta?

  • @checkmate808
    Most likely

  • Hello PS5 LINK

  • I have the closed beta and I can tell you it's super easy. As soon as you start the game it will give you a QR code to scan and code to enter. From there you just sign into your Microsoft account and you're off to sail the seas. Enjoy and see you out on the seas.

  • @jasonrc2528 oh.. wonder what I did wrong… got a LightBeigeBeard error.. I. check for updates.

  • @look-behind-you said in PS5 closed beta questions.:

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

  • My phones to old for a qr code so where do I go
