SoT is cross platform (PC to Console). With “play anywhere” and the Xbox home network sharing feature, is it possible to play SoT on two separate Microsoft accounts with one player on PC and one on the console with a single copy of the game through home network sharing?
Home Network, Cross Platform, and Play Anywhere Features
@sharkinos Ahoy!
Good news!
The game will work the same way all games work with Xbox game share :) So if you know how setting up a Home Xbox currently works Sea of Thieves will just work the same as any other game.
Indeed I understand that we can use home share to simultaneously play one copy of the game on two separate consoles within in the home share network. My question is can we simultaneously play one copy of the game using home share with one Xbox console and one windows 10 pc? I own a single Xbox console and a windows 10 pc and want to play with my family at the same time with one copy of the game; is this possible since the game is cross platform?
Thank you for the reply.
During my experience with the beta, we were not able to use the same account on two devices at the same time. Whether it be with two pcs, one pc and one xbox, or two xboxs.
With my experience through Closed Beta, the Scale Tests and Final Beta... all you have to do is the following:
Have a:
- PC
- and XBOX One (either the Normal, S, or X)
On the XBOX One, make sure you login as your primary account (1st Microsoft account) and set it as your home console. The primary account (1st Microsoft account) needs to have an activate subscription to XBOX Live. After, add a new user to your XBOX One by signing with the 2nd Microsoft account. After that account is signed in, the 2nd account can access every game on the home console.
How does it work?
- Player 1 (1st Microsoft account) plays on PC
- Player 2 (2nd Microsoft account) plays on XBOX One.
What doesn't work: Player 1 and Player 2 signed in on the same Microsoft account on both PC and XBOX One. They have to be separate.
Enjoy!
