The Sea of Thieves closed beta began on Wednesday, January 24. Finally, a game that appealed to the both of us that we would be able to play together on our chosen devices! When Was the Closed Beta? When Sea of Thieves was announced for Xbox and it was stated that the game would be supported on Windows 10, it immediately captured our attention. It’s not a boycott, the exclusives just never appealed to me enough to justify the cost of entry.) (Aside: I’ve owned most major consoles of each generation from Sony and Nintendo, but have never purchased an Xbox console. Recently, the Xbox family of consoles has become his go-to platform, while my main gaming platform remained the PC. We played most major PC games with an online component that was released over the next 15 years or so. In the mid-’90s, our passion for gaming moved to the PC once we were no longer living under the same roof. Sea of Thieves is the forthcoming open-world pirate adventure game from Rare and Microsoft Studios.Īs a bit of history, my brother and I have played video games together for decades, starting with our Atari 2600. There was no NDA during the closed beta, I was just too busy playing to grab any screenshots.
