Please fix Custom Seas being blocked on Xbox consoles when it says in your direct page it's not going to be locked behind a subscription paywall

console players shouldn't be forced to pay a monthly platform fee just to use a private sandbox.

Im on xbox...and its not forcing me to pay for anything. What are you doing different?

It's free and not locked at all. I'm from console, too.

Im xbox and its free for me..... unless you are asking it not to need gamepass in general which isn't going to happen since SoT is a multiple player co-op game and gamepass is required to play online multiplayer

Better yet they should pay for your Internet.

Quick google search (which tends to answer a lot)
And seems the answer is: You just need to own the game, no game pass required. Though on Xbox you do need pay the online subscription

Which I assume is the problem for OP

@angery-toast264 yes you need gamepass to access Sea of thieves in general. It is an online game. So you only need to the lowest tier of gamepass not ultimate if playing on xbox
